Architecture Week 2001 is a week-long national celebration of the best in contemporary architecture. It is also an opportunity for people to get involved in and learn more about architecture and the built environment in which they live and work.
V01D represents an opportunity to piece together a particular perspective upon a complex emerging field through an exhibition and publication. The show and book will support an aspect of the RIBA Architecture week that might otherwise be dominated by traditional forms of building and architectural output.
'How different strategies by artists/architects reveal alternative understandings of 'buildings', 'spaces' and 'places'.
Through digital processes, forms of architecture are changing. The definitions of buildings, spaces and places have all undergone transformation as digital processes alter the way we design, construct, conceive, present and ultimately experience architecture.
The breadth of strategies employed by different architects, to transform the idea of the 'building' are ever increasing as new methods of adapting technologies and re-thinking their impact emerge. Technical, aesthetic, mathematical, statistical, organic, real world data, dream, social are among the many issues that inform methods of generating new spaces.
As architecture transforms its identity and role, it is an appropriate point to reflect upon the methodologies that have emerged in recent times. To document the less tangible, to critique the crazy and explore the subtle.
Opening times:
Monday - Saturday : 10am - 8.30pm
