On Instruments for Engagement

Abstract

A commissioned essay for the catalogue that accompanied the Archizines exhibition first held at the Architectural Association, London. Informed by a variety of primary and secondary research sources, this essay intended to highlight and critically analyse the work of a range of practitioners who have deliberately removed themselves from mainstream media outlets and are concerned with using photography as a visual language to critique and focus attention on the spaces that we occupy and contribute to the wider debate regarding architecture and the built environment.
