SCRIPT SAFARI
SCRIPT SAFARI embarks on a poetic journey through the forgotten waterways of London, tracing the historical paths of the city's lost rivers and their gradual transformation as urbanization reshaped the landscape. The heart of Script Safari lies in its unique typographic approach, where the text of Smartt’s poems is intricately typeset using fonts that have been meticulously collected from the diverse typographic landscape along the Thames. Each font reflects the eras, architectural styles, and cultural shifts that have defined London's evolution. By weaving these fonts into the poems, Script Safari not only tells the story of the rivers but also of the city itself, capturing the interplay between nature and urbanization, memory and modernity. The project invites readers to embark on a visual and literary expedition, uncovering the hidden currents of London’s history through the lens of typography and poetic expression.
SCRIPT SAFARI 旨在探索伦敦失落河流的历史路径及其因城市化而发生的变迁。这个项目的独特之处在于对 Smartt 诗歌的排版，它使用了从泰晤士河沿岸的字体景观中收集的各种字体。SCRIPT SAFARI 不仅仅是一次地理探索，更是对城市街道下埋藏的文化和历史层面的深入挖掘。项目的核心在于通过将字体融入诗歌的排版中，每种字体都反映了伦敦演变中的不同历史时期、建筑风格和文化变迁。通过这种方式，SCRIPT SAFARI 不仅讲述了河流的故事，还揭示了城市本身的演变，捕捉了自然与城市化、记忆与现代性之间的互动。该项目邀请读者通过字体和诗歌的视角，踏上一次视觉与文学的探索之旅，揭开伦敦历史的隐秘潮流。
