In Media Res
Laura Harty
This studio was interested in prising apart the clear binary of public and private within the urban realm, and seeked to extrapolate and
interrogate the tensions and possibilities that lie between.
The studio title ‘In Medias Res’, Latin for ‘in the middle of things’ suggests that sites exist within a nexus of multiple defining criteria. One of
the students’ tasks was to distil these criteria into a typology of urban places which scale between public and private.
