DS3.1 has been exploring the architectural, political and social contexts to notions of the overlooked for over a decade. As the studio has evolved, we have focused on a central concern with the interstitial, the liminal and the marginal through explorations of the Unheimlich or uncanny framed by critical analysis of film and radical texts. In this book we explore the Unheimlich from a number of perspectives: from the modernist tabula rasa to the obfuscated politik of orthographic drawing and the notion of porosity as critical mechanisms with which to challenge the both design methodology and the commodified urban context. The book hosts a number of essays from contributors from practice and academia, who have been critical to the evolution of our collective. The student work is a creative vein that runs throughout, charting radical positions and propositions for a very different kind of urban condition and inclusive future.
