-The project explores to design with timescales from the instant to the geological, as a means to explore potential new relationships we may be able to develop with these inevitable, but extraordinary artificial geologies. - The project is developed as a fiction unfolding across time. A theatre of explosions, which becomes a strange form of nuclear clock that goes off certain intervals and ever expands as the need to store nuclear waste increases. An architecture of time based events, that is a contunuation to the explosive mythologies of Australian landscapes.
The Kalgoorlie Super Pit becomes a fine-tuned machine of artificial creation, as even the most basic excavation processes reminiscent of the old gold-mining days still devour the pit.An architectural system of production that isn't about the discreet fixed object but is about the coordination of a performative landscape.The haulage of gigantic copper panels for the armoured skin.Armoured skin spreading across the landscape as an evolving crust that has no forseeable end.The project explores design with timescales from the instant to the geological, as a means to explore potential new relationships we may be able to develop with these inevitable, but extraordinary, artificial geologies. The project is developed as a fiction unfolding across time. A theatre of explosions, which becomes a strange form of nuclear clock that goes off at certain intervals and expands as the need to store nuclear waste increases. An architecture of time-based events, that is a continuation of the explosive mythologies landscapes.
