THE TEMPORAL TRADE

In A Burglar’s Guide to the City, Geoff Manaugh says that burglars seem to understand architecture better than the rest of us. In this studio, we step into the shoes of a trickster to explore an alternative narrative of the built environment. An environment made up of loopholes that exist within the current environment. using tools of disruption, these loopholes are stitched to design a Heist. The Heist is a counter-design that uses real-time ‘Space, Action and Time’ to reveal crucially overlooked discourses.
