Abstract"Idyll and Ideology" is a series of critical studies that speculates about, while also reinterpreting, the structural inventory found within our towns and countryside.
ObjectiveThe conceptual development of an architectural and urban design and its elaboration as a specific project. The appreciation of architecture as a cultural practice with a strong but unstable connection towards society i.e. the city and the history of the built environment. The ability to produce a critical contribution to a specific discourse within the discipline by successfully employing the discursive tools and techniques of architecture. Development of the capacity to work with the speculative reality of architecture.
Content"Idyll and Ideology" is a series of critical studies that speculates about, while also reinterpreting, the structural inventory found within our towns and countryside.
The design project is rooted within the context of the discipline between the theory of architecture and the stories of the built environment - an architecture that claims to be both cultural and contextual while simultaneously pursuing the desire for the autonomy of form.
The city as a cultural expression has always been the critical project of architecture. By focusing on individual elements that make up the whole, a precise architectural discussion can be developed about collective form. The design process describes the ideological reshaping of a constructed idyll and the related negotiation of its resulting contradictions. The outcome is a third typology between house and city.
