Abstract

REF # 140
As an architect, one is trained to apply a mode of operation - a cyclical chain of events deriving from (observation(discovery)>possession(initiative(notations))>interpretation(readi ngs)>assemblage(composition))

In any part of the chain a new serial as a loop can be introduced. This mode of operation entails production of derivative variations accommodating a reading of differences in the material as well as in the space in between, facilitating possibilities of chance encounters, discoveries.

The work is developed as a fragmented assemblage of representations of T32 (acronym – a road, 32 – house number) – inferred and derived – a smallholding situated in the outskirts of the village, before, during and after demolition (2014). The landscape in a constant change represents deprivation of the built environment and of the cultural heritage, becoming the vessel (conductor, facilitator) of memories of the places of obliteration it exposes; the erasure of significance of the past, and possesses their validity in the present and the future.Methodological approaches explored in the contextual, the serial, relating to T32 its heterogeneous representations; the findings, the manipulated drawings, and models. These are assembled in one installation – a prototype. A prototype that explores through its making how it can contain the findings, the manipulated drawings, and models.

The experiment seeks to challenge the perception of a place, a (re)construction that relates to its origins, its providence(history), and to question its contextual expansion. A construction of an installation interpreting the relation and situations explored in the series – before, during and after.
