Deep In Time

Bachelor of Design with HonoursSpatial Design

The ruins of architecture, of modernity, fuse with the earth it came from.
Time starts to slow the longer you are within.
Pillars of rock sink down, and you sink with them.
Slower, and slower, but never to reach the immensity of deep, geologic time.

Spatial Design
Decaying. Ruining. This earth has walls, you’re within, pillars of rock sinking into the floor. 'Deep In Time'  investigates the relationship between geology and architecture. The vacant Reading Cinemas on Courtenay Place compresses and constructs a filmic terrain.
Time moves imperceptibly slowly – inwards, downwards – unearthing the quiet rumbling, watching the change between silt and steel. The architecture is the earth. And the earth is the architecture.
