For hundreds, if not thousands, of years, quarantine has been used to create a buffer between the known and the unknown; it delays our contact with something we do not understand and against which we have no natural immunity. It is an inherently spatial solution, with surveillance at its core.
🤨👉Did you know that quarantine means “forty days”?

Another great in-progress study published by Theo Deutinger and his students from University of Kassel to document the spatial changes caused by COVID-19 outbreak. Providing initial spatial guidelines, developed dimensions, and detailed plans, the research attempts to proactively give form to new space following governmental mandate regulations.

For centuries, plague has caused havoc across continents, changing economies, political structures and social hierarchies. Its name, from the Latin for ‘wound’ or ‘strike’, still has the power to terrorise and is used to describe all manner of disasters.

Did you know that the plague may have been one of the reason that brought the fall of the Roman Empire? Follow @vomitorium.arch for more fun facts! 👏

Continuing off our reads on diseases and pandemics. This time, learning from the father of epidemiology on the power of mapping to identify the source of cholera outbreak in London. While data mapping such as GIS did not exist in 1854, the same technique of survey data and cartography was used to analyze pattern behaviors.

Kicking off the new year with a reading exploring new interactions between humans and their environments through design, art, architecture, and technology.

Although illustrated using Simpson's reference for a satirical read and a (hopefully) new perspective, there is still an important and underlying message that Jacobs is trying to tell us. “Cities have the capability of providing something for everybody, only because, and only when, they are created by everybody.” Her vision for a community-based approach to city-planning sparked and influenced generations of architects and planners to take action on the urgency of what constitutes a neighborhood.
Inspired by simpsonspenguinclassics. Testing out a new format to the readings. Let us know your thoughts if this format is working or not below in the comments! 👇

Having taken form as both an exhibition at MoMA in 1964 as well as a book, Rudofsky’s “Architecture Without Architects” compares the serenity of architecture in non pedigreed architecture- the vernacular, anonymous, spontaneous, indigenous, rural, as the case may be.
