Architecture Association Summer Show

July 28th, 2009

I wanted to go and check out the (recent) Architecture Association Summer Show and upload lots of images to encourage Londoners reading this blog to go check it out. That’s what I wanted to do. But then I didn’t manage to make it over until the last day. My inability to make it over earlier has left me with one option. To post a few snapshots of interest from the models I saw. I’m new to London so this was my first AA show, so I can’t comment on how previous exhibitions were better or worse, but I can say that the standard of the work this year was impressive.

Although not the best time to graduate in Architecture, I remain optimistic that the current greedy-banker-induced-world-crisis will end soon and these students will all be busy transforming the world into the more organic-yet-somehow-polygonal one suggested by these models. (At the same time, I still think Mies van der Rohe was onto something…) The rest of my comments are in the form of images. 9000 words worth. Many of these images are from AA’s Design Research Lab (AADRL) section of the exhibition.
