Threshold Architecture - The Pavilion as a Method
This conversation explores the Pavilion of Transient Belonging/s as a form of threshold architecture within the city’s material flows — an intermediate spatial condition between use and discard, value and excess, ownership and abandonment.
Following the opening procession, this conversation explores the Pavilion of Transient Belonging/s as a form of threshold architecture within the city’s material flows — an intermediate spatial condition between use and discard, value and excess, ownership and abandonment.
Situated on The Spit, near the river and Wandsworth’s Waste Disposal Centre, the pavilion operates less as a site of display for rescued things than as a processing station: a space of suspension in which discarded belongings are temporarily held before entering systems of disposal.
Referring to ideas of liminal urbanism, Jaspar Joseph-Lester (Professor of Critical Spatial Practice at the RCA) and Gihan Karunaratne (architect and academic) will discuss how temporary structures can interrupt established urban logics and open provisional spaces in which value, attention, care, belonging and belongings can be collectively reconsidered.
