{"id":998,"count":10,"description":"Tutor: Stephen Maginn\r\n\r\n\u2018Archiving Place\u2019 is an exploration of the ways in which we consider and treat the history of a place. As the urban environment evolves we must question what becomes of its past in relation to its present and future. Ambiguous in its nature, the idea of \u2018place\u2019 can encompass physical architecture, wider context, and sentimental values.\r\n\r\nThe Unit seeks to question the practice of archiving and, based on a body of research formed in the first semester, each of us has developed our own unique methodology to apply to the archiving of rural and urban vernacular. This methodology was first applied to a cluster of traditional cottages in an isolated region of Donegal, Ireland, and then to Whitchurch Hospital, the abandoned asylum that was the foundation of our principal design project.\r\n \r\nOpened in 1908 and closed since 2016, Whitchurch Hospital sits on the Northern Outskirts of Cardiff. It is a labyrinth of decaying architecture, smashed windows and creeping ivy. The hospital is deserted, surrounded by spiked metal fences and adorned with No Entry signs. The propositions that emerge from the various applied methodologies are rich and diverse in nature, each considering past, present and future memories, walking the line between evolution and archiving.\r\n","link":"https:\/\/wsa-ondisplay.co.uk\/2020\/category\/undergraduate\/year-3\/unit-11-archiving-place\/","name":"Unit 11: Archiving Place","slug":"unit-11-archiving-place","taxonomy":"category","parent":990,"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wsa-ondisplay.co.uk\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/998"}],"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=998"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
