sCapes, Not an… / Publication
92 Ideas, 32 Thesis Projects, 300 References!
sCapes: Not an… is not an encyclopedia and it is not a dictionary – but it is arranged as one.
Spanning 4 years, the entries combine words and images of key aspects / ideas / situations that the “sCapes Design Research Studio” masters of architecture students at the University of Cape Town discovered about the ‘landscapes of the Cape’ during their dissertation years from 2016 to 2019.
Rather than being a definitive claim to knowledge, it is presented as a useful prompt for architects and architecture students as an ‘ideascape’ resource.
The book is a collection of Design Research from the sCapes Design Research studio, which was lead by Nic Coetzer and Kevin Fellingham, at the University of Cape Town, School of Architecture Planning and Geomatics
sCapes, Not an...
The sCapes book is a collection of words and images from the group of BAS(Hons) and M.Arch(Prof) students who have, over a period of four years, engaged in the difficult, and difficult to explain, exploration of the ideas which are found in places and in things, and thus in architecture. This architecture consists of things made in-place, and in particular, things made in this place called ‘the Cape’.
This book marks the end of an Design Research experiment within the School of Architecture at the University of Cape Town.
In which students were asked to take up responsibility to explore the freedoms offered by the academy and to say what they saw, rather than telling their teachers what they had been told to tell.
sCapes: not an… is not a dictionary, even if it is arranged as one. But sCapes: not an… is also not an encyclopedia because it does not deal in knowledge in a definitive, circumscribing sense. Nor does it provide a how-to guide or a summative explanation of concepts or a summative explanation of things. sCapes: not an…is useful in other ways; it shows how ideas become made in things, arrested in things, made by things, or even better, unmade by things.
If it must have a use value, then this is it, offering evidence of the multiple intersections of ideas and things; they are ideascapes, offering particular and peculiar views on things.
