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

Magician’s Theatre: The design for a Magician’s theatre is located in the National Botanical Gardens in Rome. The project readdresses the sensuality and ornamental richness of the Italian baroque. Notions of magical illusion and geometric anamorphosis generate surgically constructed laser-cut models that describe the functional solution of the circulation, as well as the special complexity of this realm of projections, performances and illusions. The project convolutes structural and synthetic design criteria, in order to understand architecture in its 3D depth and ornamental richness. Within the flesh of anamorphic tectonics, elephants are made to disappear: Houdini’s favourite trick.
