Unit J: Camera Lucida/Camera Obscura
Architectural Interpretation and Cultural Heritage
Documentation, dissection, interpretation, proposition….
How can our senses influence our perception of place?
How can representation of place change our perceptions?
By investigating methods of recording physical space through
drawings, text, photography and other media, the studio
explored theoretical and physical elements influenced by
cultural identity. Design projects were used as forums for
interposing architectural constructions into places, as much
cultural constructs as physical spaces.
The studio worked with two sites, Athens and Greenwich.
Students explored perceptions, realities, and aspirations
posed by two World Heritage sites, and how these concepts
could be negotiated by architectural interventions.
We would also like to thank those who supported the Unit in
Athens and Greenwich:
Ms. Hellen Tsirigotis, Mr. Nikos Kalogeras, Mr. AN Tombazis,
Mr. Yanis Romanos, Mrs. Valakou, Mr. Dimitrius Koukoulas,
o Ephremides, Helen Clark, Mr. Geoffrey Belcher,
Mr. Kingsley Hughes, and Susan Denyer.
