In this brief, we will focus our efforts of formulating
specific proposals for a counter-museum in Liverpool.
The designs will follow the logic of students’ architectural
obsessions, resulting in rigorous and legible architectural
interventions. Clear spatial, material, and atmospheric
strategies will be established in response to this brief.
The interventions will challenge the existing fabric and
function of the museums and take a stance on the role
of institutions in the production of cultural knowledge.
These counter-proposals should create new models of
accessing collections, engaging diverse audiences, and
challenging institutional norms.

In this project, students focused their efforts on formulating architectural proposals for a new Museum of Fungi in Epping Forest. Starting first by designing a logic of architectural obsessions, students translated these formal ideas into architecturally rigorous and legible interventions. Students were encouraged to engage with spatial, material and atmospheric strategies as a way to question the role of contemporary museums in the context of environmental emergencies. Working with a set of existing buildings in Epping Forest, the students’ interventions challenged ideas about adaptive reuse and the function of the contemporary museum by producing new models of engaging audiences, accessing collections and interacting with the natural world.

In this brief, students focused their efforts on designing architectural proposals for a counter-museum in Liverpool. The designs followed the logic of students’ previous material and formal explorations. Students were asked to develop clear spatial, material and atmospheric strategies as a response to the brief and their previous research about counter-narratives of Liverpool. By developing interventions for existing museums, each student took a stance on the role of institutions in the production of cultural knowledge.
These counter-proposals demonstrate students’ interests in the legacy of Liverpool in the Transatlantic Slave Trade, the ecology of the Royal Albert Dock, artist co-housing, recycled industrial materials, forgotten housing typologies and intangible heritages and cultural practices.

This studio addresses the indeterminacy of architecture. We think indeterminately, focusing on the flexibility of use as a means for speculating about current conditions and near futures in Boston. Starting with a set of assigned case studies, we will investigate architecture’s elements for the capacity to engage public domestics and domestic publics.
