1	Phantom Limbs / Ghost Architecture Hernandez Hernandez, Berenice Janice January 2022 (has links) This project asks questions about identity, place and the role of structures as memory aids. It specifically deals with the aftermath of having moved from one culture to another, and how being surrounded by a new and foreign architectural world can interrupt one’s connec-tion to the sense of self. Working from the question “Can I recreate what I lost by using an imaginary architecture imbued with my memories?” I create what I call architectural ghosts, structures made with porcelain, wood, wire and metal as an attempt to replace the memory connections I lost when leaving Mexico.

2	Searching for the Grandiose / Searching for the Grandiose Wallhammar, Johan January 2018 (has links) This project is called “Searching for the Grandiose” and consequently dives into this both historical and contemporary field of architecture. With a basis in architectural history, architectural theory and popular culture the project aims to understand and create grandiose architecture. Both built and imaginary, this area of architecture has always inspired and pushed the boundaries for the possibilities of our profession. Furthermore, in the search for the grandiose also follows a possibility of the limitless – both economically, technically and mentally. In trying to design the grandiose, the architect must loosen the chains of reality and strive for the impossible and awesome. Consequently – a vast architectural fantasy is here created on an imaginary site with no restrictions in regards to size, program or economy. architecture architectural theory architectural history grandiose monumental monument architectural fantasy fantasy imaginary capriccio Etienne-Louis Boullée Piranesi Bruno Taut colossal memorial edifice imaginary structure imaginary architecture sigfried giedion large BIGNESS dream scale ornament limitless Architecture Arkitektur
