Architecture &

Student work by Jeffrey Montes produced while earning the Master of Architecture (M. Arch) degree at the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation / Columbia University in the City of New York. Architecture depends on and is enabled by all the things which it purports to contain. The work in "Architecture &" is not self-referential. Instead, it deals with eleven themes from the specifically hypervast to the abstractly minute: Noosphere, system, agonism, spatia, code, waterworks, views, the desert, drones, mechanism, and Space.

It was sealed with 8 inhabitants for a period of 2 years, during which<br />

it hosted some surprises. A cloud of new relationships produced an<br />

yet it also produced the most productive half-acre of agriculture ever,<br />

Its techno-heroics were e also its follies, its ambition, its failure.<br />

om the skeptical public media. As the public rolled its<br />

eyes, many scientists disowned it...<br />
