Transitory Architecture.

Transitory Architecture Tutors: Richard and Michelle Black

Transitory Architecture The concept of transitory is an enduring theme running through our work. Transitory suggests the provisional dimension of things acting on one another over time – from the site and the landscape – to the building and how it allows living patterns to unfold. The studio will explore these themes.

We will look closely at the relationship between light, shadow and space. Architectural permanence will be challenged, looking more towards notions of the incomplete, the transitory, and ephemera. This approach encourages the architect to consider conditions of movement and stasis, order and chance, day and night, winter and summer, past and present, hot and cold. These conditions can challenge architectures permanence in time. How might architecture stage ongoing change?

Project: a building with a combined program of residence + studio/office; a new housing typology for rural towns within a 100km radius of Melbourne, where the potential of fast rail connections into the city make work on the periphery a possibility.
