The space we inhabit is too often overlooked and taken for granted. We glance past the minutiae of our urban environments, ignoring the street signs that make sense of our roads, the curb cuts that provide accessibility to all and the buildings that give us shelter. In this photo essay, the photographers of The Daily Californian seek to reconsider our relationship with urban space by highlighting moments of intrigue within the built environment through unique angles, scale and texture. We hope that the following photos inspire a new appreciation for the complex physical world we live in.

They say there are two sides to every story; I say there are two sides to every city. The New York I encountered this past January was a far cry from the New York I knew in May 2016, but there’s some beauty in that.
