This thesis advisory group maintains a particular interest in formal, material, and spatial interventions in space, and their ability to illuminate broader cultural, environmental, political, and social concerns of a place. Extra-architectural affiliations will provide critical foundations for design projects that explore how architecture can manifest and reveal latent systems that offer positive change and spectacular experience.
When we consider the architectural objects and surfaces we design as part of a landscape, we acknowledge the larger ecological, infrastructural, social, aesthetic and atmospheric contexts they operate within. In so doing, we invite new and ambiguous hybridizations, alliances, frictions and conflicts to influence our designs while simultaneously leveraging how our designs affect existing systemic networks.
As much as built interventions reflect culture and provide critical commentary on the particularities of the context, they can also project new readings of place-revealing hidden narratives, uncovering latent possibilities, or imagining alternative futures. Interventions at a variety of scales within constructed landscape connect to, and are in many cases dependent upon the broader infrastructures of a place. These projects capture the public imaginary through engaging pressing issues; embracing the overlap between culture and form; privileging form-making; and recombining conventional practices into new and delirious possibilities.
