Democracy A review of the space in-between the current political situation and the ideology of democracy, with a nod to the theatrics of the media within our post truth present. Transcripts from the ill attended publicly petitioned debates, that are held in the houses of parliament on Monday afternoons, are obscured through diminishing type size representative of the votes that each petition garnered. Re-presenting this re-weighted information in digestible format as the Metro or Evening Standard. Sealed, disseminated, ignored or neglected. Course: Printed Matter with Caroline Rabourdin This course considers the form of the book as a site for architectural exploration. You will learn about the role of the book in the recording and dissemination of architectural ideas with the treasures of the AA Archive, and also see how artists’ book production from the 60s might inform architectural production. You will learn bookbinding techniques and learn about book production. Ultimately, the aim of the course is to produce your own book or series of books, experimenting with paperspace and its interaction with the reader.
