Abstract
Through my engagement in the imaginary reconstitution of society. I have gained knowledge on our current societal establishment. Within that study I have begun to make tentative steps towards a suggestion for a possible future strategy, utilising architecture as my method. I will summarise it here, the creation of the utopian ideal will be through the realisation of a functioning micro economy within the post industrial landscape. This micro economy must be a long term plan or allow for change to prevent stagnation and redundancy. The collective power of men shall be recognised by the integration of public space to the private sphere of the house and the public realm of the work place, this will be a live work initiative. The construction and upkeep of the project shall rely on the skills of the homo faber, to be, manufactured and assembled. Perhaps most importantly of all however is the manner in which this project shall meet the ground and redefine the use of the landfill, the intention to be conscious about all interventions with the land and the public sphere will be embodied within the architectural concepts driving the project. This then leads me to the final stage of my thesis, architecture as method, the realisation of these goals through a charged construction project, aimed at producing new spaces to revolutionise and move away from accepted norms.
