Migratory Tectonics


movements and transformations of fragments, elements and things

Migratory Tectonics


movements and transformations of fragments, elements and things
The project Migratory Tectonics proposes a series of ideal structures that develop and interrogate fundamental relationships between human / non-human agents and the structures they effect and are effected by.
File under

Tectonic elements, a character and three things the character carries with them are explored as they migrate between a series of three progressively more and more prototypically urban conditions of inhabitation - flat ground, two parallel vertical bearing walls and a uniform structural grid - essentially developing a set of migratory tectonics.

At a fundamental level the projoect encourages the re-interpretation and re-use of methods and tectonic elements, the investigation of program and it’s specifics, and an understanding of the implicit potential of prototypical structural conditions in the development of a series of singular architectonic proposals.

The project aims to address issues such as: things as defined by Bruno Latour and the perceived effects of “matters of concern” as opposed to “matters of fact” established through a re-framing of design practices, gender and the embodiment of non-normal points.
