Trends create narratives that engage daily consumers. It reimagines the ordinary in a relevant and new way. It makes a timeline between eras, events, culture, and text. Old habits are revealed in new ideas to create a visual display for those after them. A public showcase that formulated context about the present, past, and future: trends that can hopefully be perceived, restored, and cherished in architecture. How do we use current trends to reveal architectural ideas that forecast future trends?
This thesis asks to think about the architectural gaze as more than a passive action but as an articulation of the past, present, and future. To push the boundaries of architectural illustration, objects, and materials to create a narrative of what can be. To illustrate the potential of the practice of architecture. What if the model resembles familiarity without being normative equivalent? What if the materiality, design, structure, text, and entourage all come together to build a body of work that leaves a mark on the way we view architecture for years to come?
