“What if cultural space were a carrier bag? This prototype is a mock up of a future cultural space where architecture will be thought and practised anew. It is a set of three objects, of precise functions, that build the world of our future cultural space: the table, the library and the garden. Space for work and dialogue, space for sharing knowledge, and space to practice care and maintenance. It dreams of the alternative and non- or para-institutional; the soft and slow; the relational, cooperative and contingent.
In this future space we like to imagine the architectural discipline as a
framework for investigation. It unfolds the structures that we inhabit and construct our world(s) with; the places where we relate to one another. Importantly, this prototype is about making space in a discipline that is often too large to move, too solid to break.”
