ESALA exhibition Saltcities
November 14th, 2013
The 2012-2014 Masters Programme in Architecture at Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture focuses on Lisbon, and is part of the Saltcity studio series led by Suzanne Ewing. This associated exhibition of academic work, subtitled 'Drawing the City of Unsure Ground', speculates on the wider Lisbon-Tagus metropolitan area, and is part of the current Lisbon 2013 Architecture Triennale.
Themes such as materiality, spatiality, borderlands, morphology and topography are explored within drawn and cartographic media. Previous city studios led by Ewing, following the broad themes of the design thesis include Cadiz (2006-2008) and Marseille (2009-11).
// The exhibition runs in the Sculpture Court at Edinburgh College of Art until the 16th November, with an evening reception on the 14th.
