Nacym Baghli

------- Synopsis ------- Nacym Baghli (1972, Algiers) describes himself as an ]architect[™ ------- He aspires to 'resist' to the profession as presently practiced... confiscated by some disciplines and other business sectors ------- He founded (arfen | baghli architects) in 1995, an ACU™ (Architectural Crisis Unit) rather than a common architectural practice ------- According to Nacym, architecture should be innate, impulsive and radical and claims, when/if necessary, the right 'to abstinence' ------- The website www.baghli-architects.com highlights the absence of any 'regular' and apparent architectural activity... ------- He studies the Carcass™ (unidentified building type/status). For him, it represents 'la Quintessence de l'Architecture' and it is his primary concern, as both its sources and its ramifications remain unexpected (unpredictable) ------- He believes that the cities of Algiers, Rotterdam, New York, Sao Paulo and Istanbul, amongst others, carry the genes (germs?) of the Carcass™ -------
