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

AA_Tarek Shamma_Image_01Circus Lumens: Churches have always been forerunners of technological progress, challenging and pushing contemporary technologies in the fight to build to the heavens and contain some sliver of the celestial kingdom under their roof.  They propel the way in which materials were used with their tracery and detail drawing the eye up.  Circus Lumens draws on light as the material and device for which the space is read through procession.  The new form of visual procession through the space is a progression from the history and intention of a pilgrimage church to create a new unique space that tells an iconic story in a new way.
