Manifest Destiny, a collabarative work by artist Mark Reighlman and designer Jenny Chapman is the installation of a wood cabin in an obselte unused space on the side of a building in san-fransisico. The cabin welded then boarded up with re-claimed barn wood seemlessley attaches itslef to the surrounding urban landscape without forming too much of a contrast.

To realize this type of work much planning is needed. Permission and Proposals needed to be made to local councils and building owners, much collabaration was also needed with engineers and builders. Funding in this case becomes a key issue, therfore the idea and discussion behind the work is continually challenged. Examining how this process develops is an essential area of proffesional practice.
