[m]apping Critical Architecture Theory:Autonomy in Space & Time
a project by Non Arkaraprasertkul & Kyu Ree Kim
This project seeks to explore a comprehensive mapping of architectural ideologies between 1968-1984. Based on K. Michael Hays’s propositions, the mapping is engaged in a critical understanding of architecture as “cultural” and “philosophical” artifacts. By using time as a medium to represent the history of the ideology, five significant architects are mapped in the timeline in conjunction with “matters” that influenced their thoughts: philosophical writing (including theoretical essence of linguistic, semiotic and psychoanalysis models), architectural theories, buildings, architectural trends, and political and economical events. The result of the project demonstrates not only connections between architecture and the real world through events and intellectual dialogue, but also a vivid lineage of the architects’ quest for an architectural discipline.

Hello mr Arkaraprasertkul. This timeline jpg is fantastic and I would love to print it and hang it on the wall at the school of architecture in Copenhagen, Denmark, where I teach first year students at the moment. But there is a row of picture that are upside-down and the dpi could be a little higher. Can I edit the original file for you please?
Best wishes
