Relocating Architecture

Danish artist Armsrock is currently working on a new site specific street art project which aims to change the urban landscape of Copenhagen.

The artists non-permanent works are created using Dia slide projections, this means that once the artist moves on, the images are gone. Seems to us like an incredibly ethical way of practicing street art.

Here are a couple of released images from the relocating architecture project. To find out more you can visit the artists official Blogger page HERE

TSF

‘Trans Stratford Flux’ is a film I produced in collaboration with Jack Hardy, Louisa Preece and Jasmine Eastwood. Our focus was the contrast between static and dynamic elements in an urban environment. It is a poetic exploration into the changing intensities of speeds and sounds in Stratford’s Olympic edge. Its aim: to highlight the areas latent character.

What do you get when an architect (Tuomas Toivonen [NOW]) is also a dj and producer?

Could this be the future of lectures, in nightclubs..?

The Third & The Seventh

Alex Roman has single handedly produced this computer generated animated film that illustrates architecture art across a photographic point of view. The subjects are already built spaces, with some occasional surreal additions. A selection of random compositing breakdown shots video further emphasises the incredible skill applied. It’s simply astounding!

Architecture For Sale

cdarchsale01

My friends in architecture design unit A at Oxford Brookes University have been producing artefacts that abstractly embody their manifestos as architects and are then required to sell them in a marketplace, thus selling themselves and their ideas. The featured work belongs to Chloe Dawber and is for sale on eBay (via the link below).

“Long before Derrida and deconstruction, the Talmud said quite sagely, ‘We do not see things as they are, we see them as we are’” - Elizabeth Wurtzel

The artefact as small as the human hand embodies Chloe’s manifesto, which seeks to remind people of the surrounding natural phenomena that they are inherently part of, in turn attempting to recreate a lost sense of ownership and responsibility.

Recycled man made “pure” materials such as steel, tin and copper, extracted from nature’s raw materials, were de-galvanised through sanding and soaking in an acetic acid to reveal the vulnerability below. The materials were then carefully crafted into a pattern which hints at the order within nature.

Placed within the exterior built environment and exposed to the natural elements the artefact will continue to rust and erode, quietly contrasting with our constructed fake environment and gradually leaving its imprint on the paper below as a record of the process and a lasting reminder of the fragility which surrounds us.

Two end of year architecture films to inform you about.

First – Oxford Brookes: A collection videos and photos from the years projects, including a student filmed experience of the Berlin fieldtrip.

Second – Bartlett, UCL: A short overview of the years work, shown in a very well edited and produced video.
