{"id":996,"count":14,"description":"Tutors: Michael Corr & Tom Keeley\r\n\r\nAlternative Arrangements looks closely at the town of Clones, County Monaghan in the Republic of Ireland. The town lies very close to the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic. Its sinuous route runs 310 miles from Lough Foyle to the Irish Sea dividing the six counties of Northern Ireland from what is now the Republic since 1921, and soon the UK from the EU.\r\n\r\nThis unit is seen from within the context of Brexit, but it is not about Brexit. It is situated in a border town, but it is not just about borders. It is specifically about Clones: what makes this town what it is, and what research-led architecture can do to build upon these histories \u2013 official and unofficial \u2013 and what approaches you can bring to draw out these stories. Conceptually, practically and methodologically it is interested in the role of architecture when used as a lens for examining politics, culture, and society.\r\n\r\nThe unit takes its name from the text of the Brady Amendment of the UK-EU Withdrawal Agreement for an alternative to the so-called Irish backstop. The amendment to the legislation argues there should be \u2018alternative arrangements\u2019 for controlling goods across the border apart from physical infrastructure. Here, the emphasis is shifted, creating an \u2018alternative arrangement\u2019 of sites, histories, archival sources, key dates, and specific architectures and geographies, that inform the design of buildings and spaces","link":"https:\/\/wsa-ondisplay.co.uk\/2020\/category\/undergraduate\/year-3\/unit-1-alternative-arrangements\/","name":"Unit 01: Alternative Arrangements","slug":"unit-1-alternative-arrangements","taxonomy":"category","parent":990,"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wsa-ondisplay.co.uk\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/996"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wsa-ondisplay.co.uk\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wsa-ondisplay.co.uk\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/category"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wsa-ondisplay.co.uk\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/990"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/wsa-ondisplay.co.uk\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?categories=996"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
