Title

The Department of Loops

Authors
James Coleman
Alexandra Karlsson-Napp
Jack Lipson

Course
Second-Year Core Studio

Project Description

Loops are a phenomenon already pervasive throughout and beyond the city, working at various scales. The Department of Loops is less about a top-down design approach, where a superstructure of alien urbanity is overlain on a site, and more about the revelation of extant loops through distributed architectural intervention. Loops become democratic and purposefully anti-hierarchical. Nodes in the circuit feed off one another, benefitting from connections rather than proximity to a single center, to understand the City through play, engagement, estrangement and association—as a story infinitely reread and continuously misunderstood.
