  • The Architecture of Excess
    The Architecture of Excess Image Fabrication between Spectacle and Anaesthesia A Master’s Thesis for the Degree Master of Arts (Two Years) in Visual Culture Andrei Deacu Spring semester 2012 Supervisor: Anders Michelsen Andrei Deacu Title and subtitle: The Architecture of Excess: Image Fabrication between Spectacle and Anaesthesia Author: Andrei Deacu Supervisor: Anders Michelsen Division of Art History and Visual Studies Abstract This thesis explores the interplay between the architectural image and its collective meaning in the contemporary society. It starts from a wonder around the capacity of architectural project The Cloud towers, created by the widely known architectural company MVRDV, to ignite fervent reactions caused by its resemblance to the image of the World Trade Centre Towers exploding. While questioning the detachment of architectural image from content, the first part of this thesis discusses the changes brought into the image-meaning relation in the spectacle society in postmodernism, using concepts as simulacra and anaesthesia as key vectors. In the second part of the thesis, the architectural simulacrum is explored through the cases of Dubai as urbanscape and The Jewish Museum Berlin as monument. The final part of the thesis concludes while using the case study of The Cloud project, and hints towards the ambivalence of image-content detachment and the possibility of architectural images to become social commentaries. 2 Andrei Deacu Table of contents 1.

  • MECCA: Cosmopolis in the Desert
    MECCA: Cosmopolis in the Desert THE HOLY CITY: ARCHITECTURE AND URBAN LIFE IN THE SHADOW OF GOD Salma Damluji Introduction In 1993, I was asked to head the project for documenting of The Holy Mosques of Makkah and Madinah Extension. The project was based at Areen Design, London, the architectural office associate of the Saudi Bin Ladin Group. Completed in Summer 1994, the research and documentation was published in 1998.1 Several factors contributed to the complexity of the task that was closely associated with the completion of the Second Saudi Extension that commenced in 1989 and was completed in 1991. Foremost was the nature of the design and construction processes taking place and an alienated attempt at reinventing “Islamic Architecture”. This was fundamentally superficial and the architecture weak, verging on vulgar. The constant dilemma, or enigma, lay in the actual project: a most challenging architectural venture, symbolic and equally honourable, providing the historic occasion for a significant architectural statement. The rendering, it soon became apparent, was unworthy of the edifice and its historical or architectural connotations. In brief an architectural icon, the heart of Islam, was to be determined by contractors. The assigned team of architects and engineers responsible were intellectually removed and ill equipped, both from cultural knowledge, design qualification or the level of speciality required to deal with this immense, sensitive and architecturally foreboding task. The Beirut based engineering firm, Dar al Handasah, was originally granted the contract and commenced the job. We have no information on whether the latter hired specialised architects or conducted any research to consolidate their design.

Hidden Cities: Reinventing The Non-Space Between Street And Subway Abstract The connections leading to underground transit lines have not received the attention given to public spaces above ground. Considered to be merely infrastructure, the design and planning of these underground passageways has been dominated by engineering and capital investment principles, with little attention to place-making. This underground transportation area, often dismissed as “non-space,” is a by-product of high-density transit-oriented development, and becomes increasingly valuable and complex as cities become larger and denser. This dissertation explores the design of five of these hidden cities where there has been a serious effort to make them into desirable public spaces. Over thirty-two million urbanites navigate these underground labyrinths in New York City, Hong Kong, London, Moscow, and Paris every day. These in-between spaces have evolved from simple stairwells to networked corridors, to transit concourses, to transit malls, and to the financial engines for affordable public transit.
