Ritual and Translation

Project details

Programme

Year 1

Architecture and its practice depends upon a collective ethos. Collaboration at all levels is a vital skill to cultivate with student colleagues, tutors, with crafts people, with clients, with real site constraints. The year 1 installation is based on a set of actions that will be translated and translocated in relation to the context of the site. The purpose is to transform a given place into something extraordinary for a one day event.

The project has addressed issues of the body, scale, replication, multiplication and copying. The site for the project was St Pancras New Church, where we designed and built six temporary installations.

The aims of these installations will be to uncover something hidden through the interventions, the use of the installation via performance and to temporarily transform the external spaces around the church.

The six temporary installations explored a series of episodic transformations between the body, the installation and spaces of the site.
