Concepts materialized

Yesterday I begun to build a conceptual model for my thesis project. To get inspired I browsed through Bartlett's online archive and found some great model inspiration on diploma unit 17, 2001-2002 by Anne Marie Glamstrup Madsen.
That years project brief was also very inspiring since it discussed buildings in constant transformation and the challenge for the architect, of not falling in to the convention of designing static monuments.

Last year, at a Bartlett evening lecture, an architect said: 'This building is not finished, I mean it hasn't been photographed'. This suggests that buildings are finite objects which have a single moment of perfection before they are handed to their occupants.  

Unit 17 is interested in buildings which cannot be finished. They exist in time and their components have a history. Once they are brought together they begin to change through reaction, occupation, weathering, extension and demolition. A building is a story and not a thing. It is a coming together of different cycles and different speeds. No single drawing, model or photograph can describe its changing states.
