Through a synthesis of spatial theory, material reuse strategies, and socio-political activism, the thesis ultimately argues for an architecture that resists the disposability of contemporary urbanism and instead fosters lasting social and environmental resilience. 都市のコモニング <img width="3508" height="2480" width_o="3508" height_o="2480" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/24d2db0429680c5400efd7a49d1c3e1963c1b3336e1b2e1f14872106e1e34b0a/Forum-Street-Render-2.jpg" data-mid="233478276" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/24d2db0429680c5400efd7a49d1c3e1963c1b3336e1b2e1f14872106e1e34b0a/Forum-Street-Render-2.jpg" /> https://woodsarch.cargo.site/MacMag Mon, 10 Jun 2024 16:28:41 +0000 Ryan Woods https://woodsarch.cargo.site/MacMag MacMag&nbsp; Transgression Year: 2023 - 2024 Ryan Woods, Emma Macdonald, Ayopo Olatunji &amp; Joseph Crawley In this edition, we look to explore ways in which the arts and architecture are critical of practice, education, and politics by creating new ways of living and working through systematic change. A decade on from the independence referendum, Scotland has evolved into a much more politically engaged country which continues to feel the effects of a post-Brexit hangover. Glasgow, in particular, upholds its proud reputation of being a hotspot for cultivating political activism and championing social justice for all. Taking inspiration from the city we all share, we explore the questions… When do you choose to be transgressive? How do you choose which form of transgression is appropriate? How do you sustain it? Transgression addresses a multiplicity of contemporary notions about what architecture is, what it should be and what its future might be.

A declining town centre, paired with the disparition between local trades and local identity leaves the town stagnated in the present. The historic 17th Century library lies in the heart of town but is left underused and underappreciated. By bringing a new lease of life to the existing structure, the project hopes to invigorate community engagement and&nbsp;questions the role of the library in the digital age. <img width="2002" height="1614" width_o="2002" height_o="1614" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/95bc56799c493133ba143a5711906efde3c72777ae340e7451fed44b4531affd/AuditoriumToRiverRender.jpg" data-mid="142856673" border="0" data-scale="98" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/95bc56799c493133ba143a5711906efde3c72777ae340e7451fed44b4531affd/AuditoriumToRiverRender.jpg" /> https://woodsarch.cargo.site/Live-Work-New-Lanark-Intro Mon, 16 May 2022 14:46:23 +0000 Ryan Woods https://woodsarch.cargo.site/Live-Work-New-Lanark-Intro Live/Work Location: New Lanark, South Lanarkshire Year: 2020/21 Ryan Woods &amp; Isaac Stanesby Investigating the potential of architecture to address the ecological crisis, the project speculatively offers people a social, intellectual and spatial framework from where to interact and contribute creatively to the environment in which they live.
