About
The unbuilt has an uncanny way of revealing to us who we are as a society - it’s a clear statement of intent illustrating the things we value; representations of hopes, ambitions and realities in a future focused world.
The unbuilt is also a tool for development acceleration, a method of conducting architectural experiments vital to the ethos of a design studio, an incubator of thought and purpose, grounding enough to envision, yet bold enough to inspire gradual shifts. Image by image, pixel by pixel...
In a hyper-capitalist economy, is there space for the intentionally unbuilt - works somewhat free from the scrutiny of commercial pressures? Is there a second life for the un/under-funded? That which has been deemed unviable?
What can we learn from things not realised? What legacy does the intangible leave behind?
