Hello everyone,
A colleague and I are accepting applications for PhD students in a project studying architecture and the media. Please email me directly with questions and conversations. I look forward to hearing from interested students!
Mediated Peripheries
In this project, we study how mediation of the built environment works in peripheral places. We do this as a gentle counterpoint to meta narratives of the global media city characterised by placeless flows of information, and to literature directed toward 'global' cities and spectacular works of architecture. We test how notions of media, image, and place play out in the real world: not in cosmopolitan megalopolises like Tokyo, London, and New York, but in ordinary, peripheral places that many people and communities still occupy. An example of work in this realm is available here: https://www.tandfonline.com/eprint/VPCR8RC9JHRCAYTX8GJD/full?target=10.1080/09654313.2021.1892031.
Your PhD work will be part of this larger project considering this nexus of media, place, and architecture, and will contribute to a collaborative research lab considering how architecture and media practices intersect to shape, frame, and communicate ideas about peripheral places.
You will have the opportunity to author a chapter or section in a book project.
Interested applicants should send a short proposal detailing a contemporary case study (or pair of comparative case studies) from anywhere in the world. Email to register your interest to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> and [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> by August 15.
Warm regards,
Georgia
