Lines by Adam Draper, Hugh McEwen & Greg Skinner
LINES is an intimate exhibit of exclusively original hand-drawn
architectural works.
Spanning the course of 20 years in academia and with 20 exhibitors,
LINES aims to take a snapshot of past, current and future use of hand
drawing within architectural academia.
In a reserved and concise manner, it seeks to demonstrate that hand
drawing is as relevant today as it has ever been, and is the most
enduring and direct form of architectural communication.

Constructing a celebratory space through exploration of Venetian colours and the connections and influences of Venice (the West) and Istanbul (the East) on architecture. This project articulates the colours of Venice through digital design methodology that is driven by the poetic history of Venice and constructing pigment scientific investigation laboratory and sculpting the process of making ink inside the existing Campanile of Venice. St Marks Square is full of exuberance, opulence, sculpture, and colour; the landmark of Venice also required these astonishing architectural elements. The architectural design is elaborated through exploration in Venetian patterns, ornamentations and the influences of domes that links both Venice and the East while also creating functional spaces that also provide a sublime spatiality in contemporary context.

Objects III & IX - Stasus
Authors of the latest Pamphlet Architecture 32
“Animate Landscapes Is the culmination of two years work based on Warsaw and is the beginning of the collaborative work that led to Stasus. Incorporating a proposal for a film and animation studio; the Warsaw Institute of Experimental Film, the project developed programme and forms from an amalgamation of the physical context of the site in Warsaw and the material context of the studio in Edinburgh.
The buildings both work with the train tracks on the site, tethered and held above them and in response to their continuous motion. While the studios channel vibrations from the tracks into the film editing process, the hotel sits inaccessible and skeletal above the station platforms, opening up and coming to life when the film festival begins.”

Subterranea by Rick Gooding. Courtesy of Woodbury University School of Architecture
In an era of digital representation, Gooding celebrates the precise and beautiful craft of manual drafting. He works without rulers or measuring devices and carefully constructs his drawings using the most basic architectural drafting tools: a straight edge, a 314 pencil, and an eraser and erasing shield. Gooding works exclusively in black and white. The simple palette occasionally produces Escher-esque qualities. Subversive flips of figure/ground and slips in optical logic confuse the readings of these rigorously constructed drawings.

Cultivating Faith: the feeding of the 59,000 | Royal College of Art, 2009
“Fifty years hence we shall escape the absurdity of growing a whole chicken in order to eat the breast or wing by growing these parts separately.”Winston Churchill, 1936Recent advances in tissue engineering look set to make Churchill’s vision commercially plausible within the next decade, forcing many to question society’s accepted norms.

Given this emerging conflict, is our pursuit of genetic enhancement directly contradicted by our desire to retain traditional theist practice?In light of an impending global food crisis, and an inevitable shortage of Halal meat in the UK, science turns its attention to the last remaining biblical miracle – the feeding of the masses.

“Fifty years hence we shall escape the absurdity of growing a whole chicken in order to eat the breast or wing by growing these parts separately.”
Winston Churchill, 1936
Recent advances in tissue engineering look set to make Churchill’s vision commercially plausible within the next decade, forcing many to question society’s accepted norms. After all, science has already provided answers to many of the biblical miracles – creation, transfiguration, immaculate conception, resurrection – exacerbating an increasing loss of faith in the primacy of the Church.
Concurrently, the food industry is becoming increasingly subject to religious influence, with the value of global Halal food production now at £300 billion annually. Given this emerging conflict, is our pursuit of genetic enhancement directly contradicted by our desire to retain traditional theist practice?
In light of an impending global food crisis, and an inevitable shortage of Halal meat in the UK, science turns its attention to the last remaining biblical miracle – the feeding of the masses. Located on a toxic wasteland in the heart of Newham, urban farming becomes manifest as the UK’s first commercial in vitro meat production facility.
Through an investigation into the inevitable acceptance of lab-grown meat this project questions: Can a reinterpretation of faith become a tool for the regeneration of London’s most deprived boroughs?
Intended as a critique of 21st century society’s tendency to adapt its system of values in order to fulfil its needs, this project is also (and more specifically) concerned with how different religious groups have been forced to reinterpret religious practice in order to retain their traditional beliefs.
Located on Beckton Alp - a post-industrial landscape formed through the demolition of the old Beckton Gasworks, this new ‘Site of Pilgrimage’ is comprised of five main programmatic elements, each driven by a parable of Islamic faith, or a teaching of the Qur’an. Motivated by the cultivation of Halal produce, the site will immediately become a focus for pilgrimage [immigration] and will seek to foster greater religious tolerance through the successful integration of its transient occupants. In the process the facility will turn its once contaminated home into desirable land.

An existing house sits in the midst of a 27 acre site in an affluent section of the San Fernando Valley, 60 miles north-west of Los Angeles, this 6,000 square foot house, servants quarters, and pool could be described as a Southern California developer rendition of French Regency/French Provincial.
The owner, a somewhat eccentric Los Angeles plastic surgeon, had several specific requirements for a second “house” on the site.
He wanted to build a “fun House” (his term), an “object” as he put it, for his two teenage children, a boy of 16 and a girl of 14. The site is to be the “sawed-off” top of a nearby hill with access from an existing dirt road.
The program for the fun house was both precise and amorphous. The doctor wanted a “thing,” he wanted humor, he wanted a space where his daughter could paint and hang her paintings, places for the children (and adults on occasion) to gather informally and formally, places for the children and a few friends to sleep, a small kitchen, small banquet and assembly facilities (music recitals, poetry readings in which the doctor would also participate). The doctor wanted to exploit the views from the hill to the surrounding hills, grasslands, and horse ranches. He also wanted some imageable reference in the building to the fact that he is the collector of approximately 80 (that’s right) dogs that walk the site with him each day.

‘The Church of Perpetual Experimentation’ - Adam Nathaniel Furman
A design for a new church in one of the suburbs of Rome, set within the factious context of a new pontificate that is devoted to the restructuring and expansion of the church, its liturgies and its architecture. The site is set aside by the new pope as a field of experimentation, where the doctrinal and liturgical innovations being developed over the Tiber in the Vatican are immediately put to test and trial with the practicing — and non-practicing — public. All development in the work is structured around the theme of Assemblage, so that all scales, from structural unit, through to the composition of those units into spaces, and then the arrangement of those spaces themselves, are governed by a logic of assemblage, aggregation, and eventually in time, recombination.

![Continuous city for 1.000.000 human beings | Alan Boutwell / Mike Mitchell 1969
Domus 470, Milan
Alan Boutwell became acquainted with the ideas of the megastructuralists during his studies and was particularly impressed by the thoughts and designs of Archigram. In 1965, his first designs of modular building systems were released, in which he experimented with new technologies and materials. The project of a gigantic linear city that he created together with Michael Mitchell caused a sensation. It spanned on hundred meter high pillars straight across the American continent. Its interior combined all classical functions of urban life and was connected by a complex traffic system that was differentiated by speed, transportation and distances.
Alan Boutwell and Michael Mitchell described their project with the self-confidence and urgency that is characteristic of that time: This is our city. We have not sensationalized. All that we have described is feasible today […] If we do not act now, in spite of all the seemingly insuperable difficulties, we shall sonn reach a state where action is no longer possible.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4pag0NP0o1rw1qheo1_400.jpg)

“Was I to believe him in earnest in his intention to penetrate to the centre of this massive globe? Had I been listening to the mad speculations of a lunatic, or to the scientific conclusions of a lofty genius? Where did truth stop? Where did error begin?”
