“Not(re)ation Dame(tric) du Haut: Recalibrating Corb” [2022] _ Architect: Bryan Cantley.

“Part of a series of a decommission(ot)ed + transmuted graphic inhabitations of architectural iconographic drawings. Re-identity, post- history, and spatial cartography as the generators of dis(of)course. The space[s] between plans and sections were now a layer of intellectual and spatial tissue of the drawing, not the building proper. The drawing became its own new metaverse, needing to be explored as such, not only as a path toward the totality of the architecture. The relationships between these separate-yet-connected elements became the focus of architectural devices/interventions that exploited and re-framed these odd spatial anomalies—asking the viewer to explore conditions of ‘truth’ between the architecture and its media. There is a blurred shift from the subject of the architecture to the object of the drawing.” #spatialidentity @gluepublication @cltarchitecture @uclaaud @sciarc @utkcoad @ahhuddersfield #architecturestudent #studentsofarchitecture #architecturaleducation #posthistory #architecturaldrawing

“Nourishment Pavilion”, Regent’s Park, London, UK _ Student: Nuralein Ali / BA3 _ 31.05.2022

The students were asked to design a “Nourishment Pavilion”, which should include a basic food preparation and serving area, a café and an art space. You need to critically re-interpret the idea and significance of “mind & body” nourishment, as well as address the issue of autonomous architecture and propose a variety of spatial solutions that could benefit and enhance the functions and atmospheres of the adjacent urban fabric of Regent’s Park and its environs, i.e. the areas around London Zoo, Regent’s University, the Open Air Theatre, the Outer Circle, etc.). The pavilion should include a basic food preparation and serving area, a café and an art space.

Each student defined his/her main theme: this was inspired from a variety of sources, e.g. site & context related, and was linked to the site and precedent analysis phase, Landscape Formation One [LF1], by Zaha Hadid.

The disassembling and reassembling operations can be both physical and conceptual. The precedent is analysed thoroughly. The operations and results are geared to help the students develop a basic working method around the ideas of transformation, transposition and displacement of specific elements or/and methodologies into new contexts, providing novel meanings and solutions to London’s dense city fabric.
