Three Essays: In a series of essay pieces during 2008 and 2007 I explored the relational connections and overlaps between subjects and disciplines, which, despite clear theoretical proximity to each other, are generally ignored because of seemingly differing mindsets.
In the Building Biographies exhibition catalogue, the relationship between vernacular, regional, tacit architecture, were extended to encompass deep green philosophies of place. The Architecture of Elsewhere essay traced the ways in which Bioregionalism, Deep Ecology, and GeoPoetics could be woven into architectural thinking. Working with the Belgian based new media network foAM, the Craft After Virtuality essay, engaged with the future of craft, as influenced by the coming of digitisation and virtuality. In The Re-enchantment of the Word (for Dalziel + Scullion’s More Than Us project), the relational focus was between eco-thinkers engaged in re-animating the living world, and those involved in day-to-day technocratic environmental work, as seen through the long lens of pre-literate orality and its gradual disappearance through the arrival of the technologies of literacy, the book and more recently, new media.
All three essays are underscored by a relational approach; each different versions engaged in a mapping of reconciliatory terrain to the fault-lines often found amidst different groupings. In so doing the essays aimed to open up these new terrains for nurturing and continuing the conversations about how these opposing ‘reality mindsets’ are to be reconciled.
