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

The Memory Theatre: Questioning perceptions of everyday experiences, the theatre instigates a conversation about image, identity and storytelling in a secular world. Nagata’s exploration of the somewhat forgotten art of memory led to an architecture that uses the image of the observer to tell a personal and inquisitive story. Utilising digital technology to instantaneously document events and create delays, he uses it to aid the description of the human memory, in ways that reflect its continual mutability. The meanings and narratives that were set in stone and glass in a bygone era are thereby given a new dynamic context.
