Description/Abstract:

The photographic series “Nonsuch“ investigates how architecture is constructed, historically and ideologically, through its representation. The intellectual roots are embedded within the tradition of utopia and its counter-effects of destopia, The series concentrates on the ‘model’ town Poundbury in Dorset and presents an interesting exploration of this inhabited space and its artificiality. The town is built on land owned by the Duchy of Cornwell, inhabited since 1996 and owns its conceptual structure to the principles set out in Prince Charles’ book “A Vision of Britain” published in 1989. The photographic images represent this urban space as a folly that seems to make the habitation and public life awkward, hyperbolising the sense of perfection that is built into the geographic space by the architect Leon Krier’s vision of New Urbanism.
