May 27 380 / Samuel Pruitt: Axonometric

Submission #380 | Samuel Pruitt: Axonometric — “This conceptual collision expresses the idea of a collective assemblage of parts from the project's neighborhood, both from the specific typological idiosyncrasies to the more general "building blocks" taken from the dimensions of conventional residential complexes of the Mexican War Streets (Pittsburgh, PA). The drawing style expresses the underlying complexities of the project while also referencing the form and programmatic functionality of the building.”

Submission #148 | Drew Heller: Power Wall — "Artwork is no longer to be consumed within a ‘monumental’ time frame, open for a universal public; rather, it elapses with factual time, for an audience ‘summoned’ by the artist” - Nicolas Bourriaud, Relational Aesthetics. The monument has been reborn in contingent form. The historical event no longer exists within universal memory, rather memory is recycled, distorted and produced through transient presents. Public, once a solid, is now liquid and relational. Considering collective identity as relational attaches its production to the friction of bodies."

Submission #101 | Mary A. Alvarez: Architecture of Metanoia: A Study of Space and the Transformation of Consciousness — The current state of our collective consciousness creates in our surrounding the physical manifestation of a world prioritized and driven by economic forces. Our capitalist system encourages a culture of endless consumption, and disregards that our natural environment is the most essential resource for our continuing survival; we are facing an awareness crisis in addition to the environmental one.

Simone Hirmer: Selfstorage — Selfstorage is a phenomenon of our time, a phenomenon of densing cities, less and less room for the individual and the collectiveness of subjects human seems to need. This called forth economical containers, personal storage units that aim to provide room for all those subjects that seem to be so utterly important for us.
