A Meaningful Architecture
Conchita Blanco known
as Conchita believe that we do not only hold the role to have power in shaping
our environment physically, but also socially. Physically – we build the very
shelter that acts as the functional ground for its users, thus re shaping the
physicality of a certain environment. Socially – through architecture we
determine lifestyle, culture, social values and even more history.
In saying that as
architects we are curators of experiences through the spaces we design and
through that, there needs to be a deep meaningful consideration through every
design of an opening, void, wall etc that does not solely relay over aesthetics
purpose, but injecting a meaningful purpose – a poetic one. After all,
aesthetics is merely subjective.
Conchita’s intention
here is to prove how as architects, through our designs have the ability to
communicate, to evoke ; a certain mood, a particular experience or a memory.
Henceforth, to think not only as an architect, but as an artist and challenging
or critiquing the common social norms and notions. In doing so, the built
environment does not only exist for its practicality but there it lies with a
certain meaningful presence to the environment and society.
In understanding
this further, Conchita will be presenting her previous thesis project titled as
“The tomb of the Stolen Memory”, it is directed for the stolen memory of the
Australian Aboriginal Indigenous – that is the long and violent British
colonization of the Australian land where their land were forcibly dispossessed
by the European settlers that lasted from the 1780’s to the 1920’s.
