“Layering is part of the makeup of the world; peeled-up topographic layers, stacked volumes, and layered façades can all be part of an understanding of architecture as process rather than as a single object of a specific moment.”

MSD in Metropolis Education Issue

In this month’s special schools issue of METROPOLIS — Samuel Medina explores the innovative pedagogical approach of the Melbourne School of Design.
“Lined with timber, the space acts as a social condenser for all of the school’s 3,000 students, who, buzzing back and forth beneath the wood-and-glass coffered ceiling, unconsciously enact MSD’s pedagogical model […]
At MSD, the horizontal datum of the studio is transposed vertically and arrayed along the thickened corridors ringing the atrium. These are free work zones that carry studio activity upward, carved-out spaces for spontaneous encounters and rapid-fire collaborative sessions. They are kitted out with ‘hot desks’ that jostle their way over the lip of the floor plate and are held in place by a thin, liminal mesh and shiny folded stainless-steel railings that just say ‘zoom’.”

David Dick-Agnew writes about Bigger than a Breadbox, Smaller than a Building at the BSA Space in “Experiments in Micro-Architecture” for Azure Magazine.
“The curving shape is composed of dozens of blocks of rigid CNC’d foam that interlock like puzzle pieces, leaving just enough of a gap to reveal the discontinuity of material within the continuous form.”
