FIELDWORK

Fieldwork transforms a decommissioned oil extraction site into a campus where architecture becomes an instrument of exposure and inquiry. Ordinary building types—the house, the gas station, the office complex—are manipulated like deconstructed pumpjacks, revealing the hidden systems that power daily comfort and ambition. By dismantling and exaggerating these familiar structures, this experimentive campus becomes a symbolic setting for education: a site of spatial revelation where students engage with the architectures—material and ideological—that sustain daily life, as one draws dark oil from beneath the surface of our society.
