CAMPAINING!! A DESIGN BASED INQUIRY INTO THE CAPACITY OF CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE TO PROMOTE EMERGING IDEOLOGIES, SOCIAL RIGHTS OR POLITICAL AND COMMERCIAL PROPAGANDA. 1.

YEAR BRIEF: TERM 1. HEADQUARTERS!!
- WEEKS ONE AND TWO: selecting group or organisation as case study for the year. b. TERM 2 and 3. IDEOLOGY AND LIFESTYLE. c. ACADEMIC TRIP TO MALAYSIA 7 days’ workshop of the go!
“The fact is too many architects are seriously marginalized, and I would go so far as to say, intentionally isolated, from the political process that determines the zoning, funding and the complex social and legal regulations that control the building of our shared environment. This subject needs to be confronted, debated and discussed in detail.” Swett (2005)

image> THE MATRIARCAL ENERGY INDUSTRY by Han Hao, 2016, UNIT22 y5. This image describes a new building typology combining childcare, working facilities, living spaces and energy infrastructures.
If politics is about the allocation and advancement of resources and powers in society, then political architecture begins with an awareness of architecture being complicit with politics, with financial and industrial interests, with big and small corporations, administration and public and private companies (Latour, 2005).
image> SWEET CONCILIATION by Ana Alonso Albarracin, 2016, UNIT22 y5. The project interprets Spanish House Wifes as a 21st century material feminist. Through YOUTUBE they have created a network of support and influence.
We will ask our students what architecture can do for smaller social initiatives that are trying to change things and how their design capacity can help augmenting societal resilience and find alternative paths for development.
image> BAIN TOWN QUARTER, ALEX ANDERSON, y4, 2017. The project looks at the history of the Bahamas to inform the scale and typology. Where the structure of home relates not only to functional and economic considerations but also to the history and culture of the users.

image> HOME GROWN CITY, ISABELLE TUNG, y4, 2017. Upcycling culture is becoming more and more wide spread in India. Entrepreneurs committed to upcycling are gaining popularity and the topic of circular economy will be one of the largest focus in the near future for the blooming young adults - the Post-Millenials.
The headquarters will need to be the ultimate expression or symbol of that emerging association.

The building cuts through an existing car park in downtown Athens adjacent to ‘Jasmine Squat’, a school building squatted by 80 Syrian Refugee Families since March 2016.
This will require students to expand their repertoire past the built environment, developing innovative ways to create a branded and driven by ideology experiences: we will use graphics, illustration, sound, applied video, applied video.

The project aims to recreate the experiences and atmosphere in traditional Chinese garden Taking advantages of 3D holographic projection techniques and special light, sound, and weather effects, the garden is a place where nature and architecture, reality and fantasy world could coexist.
Buildings, just like generic products, fulfil needs, but good architecture fulfils desires.
