Crafting a manifesto for sustainable architecture: material cycles and material salvaging

Background

Adam is recipient of a Bachelor of Architecture from McGill University (B. Sc. Arch 2020). While his interests are diverse, many of them are encompassed and channeled into his BLUE research. His project is a socio-economic, phenomenological, and formal analysis on the practice of Unbuilding. His analysis looks at current significant actors and zeitgeists about material, and otherwise, fluxes in the building industry and the urban landscape. His primary interest in this context is to discover how program breaks down over time as a building breaks down materially. The product is a manifesto for spatial breakdown for the sake of material salvaging and material cycles, creating important cultural agents in the city, and formal-programmatic relationships in formulating architecture.

Unbuilding manifesto and design proposal

This research project is a proposal to look at destruction (not deconstruction) as a form of architecture and as a form of place-making, as a tool to make.
