This studio was about prefabricated and mass-produced architecture: its
history, cultural value, spread and popularity, technological properties and spatial
potential. The assignment was to investigate a number of existing prefabricated
building structures, using the conceptual framework of experimental preservation to explore their reuse, transformation
and preservation.
Mass-produced
architecture challenges the idea of permanence,
authenticity and authorship, it
belongs everywhere and nowhere; it is temporal, it can be assembled,
disassembled and reassembled over time, it is by nature limitless as it can be
repeated and expanded, and it has multiple authors.
The studio encouraged the students to develop new methods of preservation
through an experimental practice involving survey procedures, writing, drawing,
physical model building, computer modelling, representational techniques etc.
