Architecture Beyond Code

-

Does architecture have the means to formulate, if not a critique, at least a questioning of the structural logics ruling the contemporary urban environment?
Precisely, does this architectural questioning have a chance to emerge within the urban environment?

Architecture Beyond Code is a practice-based research project, as well as
an experiment in criticizing the making of architecture in our present western contexts. It questions the precedence of code over architecture in the construction of our spaces; investigates the logic of control embedded in this process; and seeks, through uncommissioned architectural interventions, an efficient strategy of critique.
