STUDIO THEME
“Outside-In”The past two centuries are marked by 200 years of rapid change not within a fixed and stable world, but within a world transformable, and transformed. From industrialization to digitalization, world-wars to globalization, and climate change, the world has been re-shaped in ways both deliberate and unintentional.
The past two centuries are marked by 200 years of rapid change not within a fixed and stable world, but within a world transformable, and transformed. From industrialization to digitalization, world-wars to globalization, and climate change, the world has been re-shaped in ways both deliberate and unintentional.
The studio will explore the conditions which have led us to this time, and speculate on the role of architecture to work with and to shed-light on these conditions. To do so will require optimism, diligence, pragmatism, and imagination.
The studio will design an embassy and chancery for a country disproportionately affected by climate change, sited in Iceland, or more specifically, geographically within 50 miles of the Reykjavík, the country’s capital.
We’ll explore the relationship between interiority, exteriority, and extraterritoriality through verbal declarations and visual delineations, further developed through form and material. While we may be more familiar with the political implications of an embassy sited within another country, do we fully understand the spatial implications? In a post-globalized world, how might one develop an extraterritorial architecture in the context of a shifting climate?
