HoRo carte blanche

carte blanche [well: almost blanche]

liebe studierende
sie werden in naher zukunft innenarchitekt*innen
createurs d’espace
zweidimensional finden sie nicht soo dolle
neinneinnein: sie sind an räumen interessiert
an räumen
was die so mit dir machen
wie die sich so anfühlen
und warum die das machen
mit welchen mitteln und zu welchem zweck

UCT 06 carte blanche :: some outcomes

this carte blanche project in the second semesters architectural design studio of 2017 at soapg/uct did not only produce highly amazing & jawdroppifying submissions but even went beyond that:
two teams submitted their work as abstracts at the 10th International interdisciplinary research conference on architecture/built environments at the university of moratuwa in colombo/sri lanka headlined: design that cares – inter disciplinary approach to making built environments efficient and meaningful – both got accepted.
nicky duncan, teegan isola, julia masureik and naa-ilah brown, sharon ho, humairaa wahid then translated their work into full research papers – only to get both accepted.

is the sky the limit? we were asking us, could we somewaysomehow get our superheroines to sri lanka? – and we managed to get funding for both teams to go to present their work at this conference. and off they went
