This piece in three parts is inspired by the architecture studio sample library, where towers of physical samples serve as both a tangible and visual reminder of the material effects of the design process and by extension the wastage generated by building procurement at large.
The petite yet monumental stone plinths ask the question—in the media age where visual overload and market saturation have become both normative functions and generators of design, what becomes of these soon to be discarded materials which are in every other sense enduring and robust contributors to the built environment?
The robust materiality and reference to architectures of bygone eras remind us of the potential longevity and enduring quality of the work of architects.
