    Apostrophe Ess: Meditations on Writing and Editing during a Genocide
    (2024-12-31) Saloojee, Ozayr
    This text is a mediation on architectural writing and editing during genocide, structured as a parallel essay — one in the main text, and another in the footnotes — it is an attempted combination of manifesto, elegy, declaration, and invitation. Grounded in the idea that writing is a form of critical, spatial practice, the text reflects on Achille Mbembe’s notion of disenclosure as a pry-bar to wedge open a tender and direct engagement with architecture’s complicity in the ongoing erasure of Palestinian lifeworlds.

    Edible Empires: Redesigning Power, Place, and Resilience in the US Food System
    (2024-12-31) McElderry, Justin
    This paper critiques the structural inequalities in the US food system, shaped by short-sightedness, centralisation, and monocultural practices. It explores how architects and urban planners can redefine food infrastructure by adopting decolonial frameworks rooted in equity and sustainability. Drawing on theories by Jean-Luc Nancy and Achille Mbembe, the research provides case studies and adaptive solutions to transform foodscapes into resilient, community-driven systems. The work emphasizes a shift from profit-centric to justice-oriented models, bridging design innovation with long-term ecological and cultural stewardship. Finally, it calls for an expanded definition of architectural practice that prioritises systems change and responds to the unique ecological, cultural, and economic demands of a context.

    A Landscape, a Ledge, and a Shadow
    (2024-12-31) Khan, Ghania
    This paper is concerned with a creative practice that explores the experience of sacred space in architectural drawings. The drawings [re]present a spatial intervention where the sacred is experienced in the most ordinary of architectural gestures located amidst a juniper forest in Balochistan, Pakistan. The drawing practice that is central to this exploration, consists of a phenomenological enquiry, grounded in Ibn Arabi’s philosophy of the world as God’s shadow. This paper is a ‘disenclosure’ of our constant attempts to render every physical detail into a linear result of spaces as products to be seen. The unfolding research practice offers a discussion on ways of seeing the baatin, in physical forms — the zaahir. The drawings that emerge from this study critique conventional methods of architectural representation and call for a depth to become a part of how we visualise space in architectural practice and pedagogy.

    Shelter Disenclosed
    (2024-12-31) Nakarado, Christian
    The buildings that once housed the Mount Pleasant Indian Industrial Boarding School in Michigan have today begun to turn to ruin. Their boundaries have begun to fall apart. Many of their oppressive spaces are no longer enclosed. While the deterioration of building envelopes is typically cause for repair and maintenance, in this case the building enclosures separated much more than just interior from exterior, and their opening up means a reconnection of people, culture, and land that were long held apart. Such an open view of the envelope is essential to our architectural future.
