Lives are shaped by the built environments that we inhabit. And as much as humans occupy architectural spaces, architecture also occupies a unique place in human sensibilities. Images and materials are central to the idea of space and form. This work explores the reconfiguring of images and materials towards imagining newer ideas of space.
The Space of Architecture is a project that delves into architect’s notebooks, elevations, plans, blueprints, and collages. Architects and planners depend excessively on drawings to conceptualise space. This work mimics the process of drawing. In many ways, the work interrogates the process of producing architecture through reprocessing the drawings.
