While I’m at the end of my academic lessons, the architectural journey is only just beginning. I look back over these years where I’ve balanced my studies with my time at small design firms and find that everyday is an opportunity to learn something new. With this attitude, I am eager to experience a variety of projects that will only further my architectural aspirations.
By reconsidering the original meaning of 1984’s doublethink into an architecturally relevant context, we can then redefined it as;
A process welcoming contradictory beliefs that pose as a complex and paradoxical re-imagining of the subject.
The sense of reality becomes increasingly dynamic and nuanced. Perception is challenged; and the human experience becomes impossible to theoretically grasp. But what about conveying this architecturally?
Simultaneously believing and disbelieving, we are bound to find that ‘utopia’ and ‘dystopia’ are
reflections from the same mirror, as they interchangeably play the same role. This ultimately is projected into the current social state of ‘recycling’ and the ‘veiled perception of recycling.’ To recycle and the way we must recycle. The attachment to timber: once recycled we no longer can grasp its originality. After the process of recycling, re-imagining and doublethinking, the timber is no longer finite but continuously reformed in a never ending, entropy driven meta-cycle.
