‘is this an architecture thesis project’
. . . . if you stay here long and patiently enough to read through the texts around you and find their correlated objects, artefacts, furniture, films, books,
then yes.
this space deals with numerous subjects – authorship, the nature of biography, analysis on museums or that on any exhibitional spaces of such nature, the power dynamics in relation to the discipline of architecture, certain absences that have never been addressed properly or systematically through our education, racial as well as classism issues, languages, spatial or geographical memories, the definition of “personal”, anthropology.
if this seems confusing at first glance, please keep in mind that – everything has been broken down through texts (and/or language).
therefore, i genuinely hope that this would be the case where – you enter a space filled with thoughts, but you do not yearn for an author’s presence in order to ‘understand’ their works as well as their thought processes.
. . . . you could absolutely step on the prints on the floor.
i would love you to read through the texts that are around you. books on the bookshelf are also accessible as well. i marked some pages that speak to the project. and please feel free to use the pens and notebook.
