Exhibition at PHASE 2 Gallery, 8/09/09 - 2/10/09, 8 Fitzroy St, London W1T 4BJ

Digital Hinterlands features a diverse range of work by some of the best recent architecture graduates from London's Architectural Association, Bartlett , Royal College of Art, and University of Westminster. Curated by Ruairi Glynn in consultation with Arup, this exhibition revealed how the latest computational design and rapid manufacturing processes are providing new ways of understanding and designing space. From built models, 1:1 fragments, material experiments and installations, to interactive devices, virtual worlds and robotics, the exhibition presented the ideas of a wave of young designers, operating on the speculative hinterlands of architectural design.

The work featured in the exhibition has been published alongside interviews, conversations and articles written by leading London Architects in Digital Architecture: Passages Through Hinterlands

Printed Aedicules: The project sought to construct a library inside the scale of a book to form physical and imagined spaces on and through the page. The term ‘printed’ alludes to manufactured craft – making the book and emergent technologies to print SLS. The ‘aedicule’ expresses the project’s spatial conception. Traditionally, an aedicule is a small space, typically a shrine in a larger temple or an architectural frame surrounding a door or window. Two-dimensionally, the aedicular would flatten the library onto the page. Three dimensionally, the book would contain aedicules within the volumes of the page that would express the library’s spatial experiences.
