Little Worlds
Natasha Sandmeier
Little Worlds documents three years of conversations and projects in Diploma Unit 9’s ongoing enquiry into context. At a time when architecture is trying to redefine itself, the issue of context –how to collect it, make it, shape it, talk about it, and enter one’s architecture within it –is more pressing than ever. The book pulls together a collection of utterly unique and singular worlds that together argue for a positioning of architecture: not geographically, but rather set within its rich cultural context shaped by real histories and imagined futures. Ultimately, Little Worlds addresses a question all architects face at the beginning of their bright futures– how to shape an identity.
With essays by Brett Steele, Christopher Pierce, Charles Arsène-Henry, Robert Somol, Barbara Campbell-Lange and a conversation with Madelon Vriesendorp.
