De-Coding Allegorical Space: Architectural Translations
Through the lens of fictional story telling this project explores the hidden potentials of allegory, where the text-image allegorical translation between re-presented elements of the site and the text create new spatial interpretations. If in the words of Yvonne Farrell and Shelley Macnamara ‘architecture is a full body experience’ how then could this method of analysis be engaged with on a more direct sensorial level?
Through sonic intervention, written storytelling is placed on the site where fictional narratives can then enter the subjective realm of individual experience and interpretation. To further excavate the subjective realm, different mediums of drawing and representation are explored such as LiDAR scanning, investigative photography, clay texture pressings, ink prints, and elevational collage.
Situated Reflections
Situated Reflections
This video is a moment of pause and reflection, depicting the on-site intervention. The audio brings the voices of the author’s flatmates into the project, their experiences of being women in the city are an essential starting point for this project.

Artists Book and Ink Prints
The ink prints create an abstracted interpretation of the textures within the site. Sitting side by side with the close-up photography, and fictional writing, the artists book becomes a deep textural and experiential investigation of the site.
Sonic Intervention
Participants were invited to explore the site through a collection of audio pieces. As they walked, they were asked to carry a clay cube, taking pressings of their own as they move throughout the space.
Scanning Interpretations: Detail
Each shadow and shingle is carefully drawn to interpret and replicate missing textures of the site, however imperfections are inevitable. These imperfections add a human element back into an otherwise technical, architectural rendering of the site.
