"I'm an architecture student at Drexel University. Our project for this studio year is to focus on and master plan a stretch of West Philadelphia along Lancaster Ave. A few of my classmates and I had watched Urbanized (which featured Candy Chang) and went to see her speak when she was in the city. We decided to try her stickers out along Lancaster Ave to see how the community responded. It was very important to us that this was not backed by a major institution or a community/neighborhood group. We just wanted to see what would happen. One of my friends who helped put the stickers up went back to see the responses but we didn't take them down, so that was someone else." [Stickers on Lancaster Ave.: 'I Wish This Was'?Gone (UPDATED)]
