Kevin's research focused on the pedestrian experience of the no-mans-land between Dubai and Sharjah, dubbed a "transurb." Through multiple interventions, workshops, and explorations, Kevin attempted to draw attention to this space, which passed through without a second thought by affluent commuters, but represents a real barrier to those without access to automobile transportation.
