Architecture without Architects

Abstract

The title of this paper pays tribute to Bernard Rudofsky's Museum of Modern Art exhibition dated November 1964 to February 1965. In assuming the same title, this paper will attempt to navigate within and outside this genre as a point of inspiration and a point of departure. Architecture without Architects compels us to revisit and re-acknowledge earlier ideas behind creating participatory and humanistic spaces. Followed by contemporary observations on architectural theories found in the fibre-arts along with a short discussion on 'Planned Obsolescence '. The final portion of this paper will introduce 'Experimental Combining' as a process and Nomadic Space - concepts and prototypes as a practice.
