manifesto for civic architecture

Civic architecture is dependent on the contemporary democracy it is built within. A library is civic architecture, civic architecture is public space. A library “encloses in one place all times, all forms, all tastes [...] a place of all times that is itself outside of time and inaccessible to its ravages.” (Heterotopia 7) Public space is unconditional and equal participation in civic discourse. Public space allows for the sharing of contexts to situate ranging ideologies. Public space is separate from consumer space. Civic architecture negates hierarchy, elevation, and barriers.

civic architecture

The modern American landscape lacks neutral spaces of public discourse that are vital to a democratic society. The library of the 21st century is uniquely poised to fill this void. By rejecting monumentality, we were able to contextualize the building with its surroundings, drawing upon surrounding rural archetypes to strengthen the library programming and encourage engagement.

eutopia for the misfits

partial text When you arrive in the parking lot, if there are other cars, jumbled pedestrians taking the right of way risking their lives doing so then it is still alive and well. If you reach your destination and the sign is hanging by an electric cord, and a tumbleweed brings your car to a halt, then what you are witnessing is a funeral.

scenes of abandonment

If you decide to stay and observe the abandoned lot what you might witness are the leftover stains. The shopping carts marking their lost territory, the missing letters that leave a shit like stain of once holding the light that welcomed people.

eutopia for the misfits

longitudinal section perspective not to scale

The site is left to rot, until someone new can come along and find treasure in the trash. A shift may arise. Remnants form together stripped of their trash material to build a home, a somewhat empty one. A material girl who has left the material world is interested in this market.

scenes of abandonment

inventory

As we pick up the pieces of the objects we once longed for and mold them together what forms? A new world, one that looks at these scenes of abandonment as a home, a reflection of what we as consumers have acheived: self-destruction.

the guilty

The big box store has taken the identity of architecture, claiming that because it uses columns, beams, trusses and cladding that these attributes count as thoughtful design. This is false, we must take back architecture and it must b e d o n e t h ro u g h t h e b o dy o f t h e t h e i f, Wa l m a r t .

We fo r m t h e b u i l d i n g i n a w ay t h a t e x p o s e s t h e vulnerability of industrual history. Making it seem as though the building is of heavy dark steel when in actuality it is referring to the very roots of industrial design with timber construction. Within these forms the space evolves into a collaborative building , one that brings intimacy and layering into the factory lifestyle. Here the building has found its indentity as a body

The natural landscape has been engulfed within mass production and consumption for the past century. There is a strained relationship between the man made and the natural.
