  • Untapped
    By Juste Tresor: We live in unprecedented times of challenges, and yet full of opportunities for the field of architecture. More than ever before, our area of expertise is entrenched in a broader range of issues stretching from cultural, environmental, public health, and social equity. What is so special about our training that makes it relevant to a myriad of global issues? The simple answer is our ability to synthesize complex issues and give them a legible form.

  • The Soft City - Architecture's Public?
    By Matthew Rust: The purpose of The Soft City is to question the motives and ideology behind our urban spaces. As urban users, we are active elements within a city. We have the ability to shape the city surrounding us. Consequently the environment around us offers resistance to our interactions and reshapes us in turn. This continuous moulding and reshaping of people and space is directly reflected in our societies.

    This relationship will help form the key theme for the blog; who is architecture's public?

  • the DESIGN MOTIV[AT]E project [...] - A blog of random ellipsis...
    By Brandon Featherstone: The idea of the use of ellipsis emerges from the corresponding use in language, defined as [...] "the act of leaving out one or more words that are not necessary for a phrase to be understood," leaving the potential for an open-ended continuation or discussion of any said topic...The use of the ellipsis can be used at the begging of a phrase, whether it be for a sudden leap from one topic to another, or picking up where the last one left off...this is the idea of the Design Motiv[at]e Project.

  • For The Time Being - An Architectural Sound Trilogy
    By Mary Edwards: For The Time Being, a sound installation, reflects the conflict of desire and uncertainty that seems to simultaneously haunt intimate (if sometimes interim) spaces, each drawing on the relationship we have with temporality, where the anticipation of travel or movement often overshadows the destinantion. It signifies the essence and impermanence of nature and architecture, evoking both absence and presence through sound.
