Abstract

Image Revealed, Extracted, Mounted, Expressed (2019) forms the culmination of an inquiry into the ways in which artistic methods of working can be used in the process of architectonic design. This project derives from a search for authentically representing the past in the architectonic object. Specifically, this project explores ways of producing an architectonic object which seeks to connect with the individual or collective memory from the ‘spectator’ through contemplative and personal experience. The aim of this project is to devise a method for interpreting the immediate context of a building in the most authentic way possible. A suitable assignment presents itself in the city of ‘s-Hertogenbosch on the ruins of a recently collapsed building on the central square within the city center. Sited within a prominent but historically laden location, the project seems to be in the perfect location to design an architectonic object which is neither ‘modern’, nor nostalgic but makes the authentic past of the city explicit through the physical and sensual appearance of the object itself.
