Wake: I am in the Interzone

Wake: Interzone, ESALA Graduation Project
Perceiving Tangier through an investigation of William Burroughs’ dreamlike writing and Brion Gysin’s technique of cut-ups, the city manifests itself as a parallel, as an other. This thronging sea of relations between, across, and through the urban fabric become permutations of Tangier’s material reality; a pin-cushion of imperial flags, camouflaged and flecked with the wear of its fluctuating history. The undertones of colonialism reverberate in its streets, in its language, in its law.

Third Year Architectural Dissertation by Daniel Lomholt-Welch, Scotland

Architecture MA(Hons) Dissertation

‘Saint Peter’s Seminary, Cardross: An Ekphrastic Journey Through Liturgies and Leaks’

Saint Peter’s Seminary Cardross Building

Third Year Architectural Dissertation by Daniel Lomholt-Welch, Scotland

Conclusion

In setting out the objectives of this dissertation it is hoped that through a combination of historical, theoretical and primary source material, it is possible to arrive at a series of understandings of Saint Peter’s. In journeying through this material these understandings represent certain ways of framing the Seminary, each framing as a singularity in constant relation to the others. By adopting a holistic standpoint, it is possible to build up a perspective of Saint Peter’s as the synthesis of these framings.

Edinburgh School of Architecture First Year Student Projects

The first semester we worked on two projects, the first being “Material World”, and the second “Strangely Familiar”.
Project 1

First Year Student Projects Edinburgh School
The first project of the semester involved a series of four brief, one-week projects, each centred on using different materials. Each material has distinct qualities and will create a specific atmosphere. They also require very different methods of construction.

Project 2

The second project was a more in-depth investigation of the specific needs of a certain industry, coupled with an introduction to residential architecture. It was important for our proposal to reflect this industry in its design. The residential aspect introduced us to having to cater for a specific group of people, and their roles in a family structure.
