dc.description.abstractThemes on a Fallow House is a study of architecture and its effect on the way we create collective memories, accumulate material culture, and associate ourselves with place. Through experimenting with analog processes and materials, this work aims to suggest that architecture acts as a repository for memories. Yet, amidst an ever changing society and landscape, the inevitable degradation of architecture, and therefore the memories accumulated within its material, will eventually occur. This degradation is the tool which allows for new meanings to be transferred onto objects and places, thus they live on.en
dc.description.abstractgeneralThemes on a Fallow House is a study into how architecture relates to memory both for the individual and the collective. Using my Grandfather's farm as a place of inquiry, I experiment with analog processes and materials to further examine the ways in which architecture influences us and why certain places might matter to us. Furthermore, Themes on a Fallow House begins a discussion on why certain places might live on as artifacts of a past time, while others crumble and fade into the past.en
