COMMON GROUND
common Ground was the title of the 2012
architecture Biennale curated by david
his curatorial role are broadly in sympathy
with the aims of this design studio.
We are strongly interested in the idea of
the everyday how this relates to the ground
between buildings, the spaces of the city
and the relationship of architecture to the
political, social and cultural structure of
the city. These ideas are to be investigated
through theoretical studies and writings
and the application of the pre-conceptual
models and paintings. our interest is also in
the realization of architectural ideas at many
scales from the urban up to the full-scale
model or 1:2.
Venice was chosen as the study area
because of the publication of a recent book
Venice as a sign, a real abstraction a series
of remote images. The book discussed
how a city could be explained through the
naratives of visitors and migrants to this new
global city. Very few of the inhabitants of the
city are born in the area or Italy. Their stories
tell of another city unknown to the tourist a
place that has not yet become an image of
itself and its beauty.
