The blog will involve research and the presentation of materials in several formats addressing issues related to a forthcoming 282 Architecture Design Studio (in Spring). The studio will design accommodation for the PSU Social Practice Master of Fine Arts program. This program emphasizes community engagement through non-studio creative activities executed in the field.

Museum of Moving Images














One of the first high-profile built commissions for Future Systems is perhaps surprising in that it was a relatively modest temporary 'tent' - yet this small structure is nevertheless of importance in that it incorporated many of the issues dealt with in their earlier work and exhibited an exciting image that was all the more potent for its realisation in built form. Indicated in the design are some of the ideas about practical, temporary and movable buildings. The building utilized a whole series of prefabricated components that it could be easily transported to site and erected with minimum effort to provide a sophisticated and very usable building.
