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.
