213bla_WHAT IS: Radio Blablablarchitecture (SHOW 1)

Radio Blablablarchitecture is talking building. To design is to talk and to talk is to design. Yet the history of architecture has failed to recognised the value of speech as a legitimate means of architectural representation. The podcast ‘sketch’ below was made in-house by the team at WHAT_architecture for the Arts Council’s Modulations series on Resonance FM (104.4FM). The podcast is a little unpolshed: the humour a bit clunky, the attitude DIY punky. Yet the podcast attempts to capture ‘in sound’ the spirit of Radio Blablablarchitecture. In order to talk architecture one must learn the language. So we will evidence the peculiarity of architects talking, in interviews, archi-lectures, conversations, as client presentations. Radio Blablablarchitecture will demonstrate that talking, and the literal sounding of architecture, has much to offer in comparison to the more recognised mediums of architectural expression: drawing, writing and building! Know what I am saying?

263acq_armmMmmchairsofa

What distinguishes an armchair from a mere chair is the support it provides for our arms. (Duh!) Yet we all recognise the occasions when these armrests have been redeployed as chairs themselves. When armrests become posterior perches for Instagramming. An armchair is frequently that seat of convenience when all other chairs have been taken. At such times the armchair for one transcends into an armsofa for three… Given this scenario, WHAT_architecture proposes the armMmchairsofa™ The armmMmmchair™ is an armchair with exaggerated arms to accommodate all your family, most of your mates and enough ladeez to constitute a fantasy harem. For greater domestic versatility, the armMmchairsofa™ comes in various sizes:
  • 3 person armMmchairsofa™
  • 5 person armmMmmchairsofa™
  • 7 person armmmMmmmchairsofa™
  • 9  person armmmmMmmmmchairsofa™ and
  • 11 armmmmmMmmmmmchairsofa™ so your entire football team can now watch the game together!
It is up to you, the  buyer / ‘perchchaser’, to balance your social relations so that the armMmchairsofa™ does not topple! The Unfolding armMmchairsofa™ version can be compacted should you find yourself at home alone (again!) or over-estimate your own popularity. The armMmchairsofa™ by Tacchini deploys 3M Materials technology for non-flammable, durable and high visibility décor-ware….mmm! Untitled1armmMmmchair1 bw armmMmmchair1 bw2

221dog_Accumulated heritage

The Spotted Dog was originally a late 15th Century country house located outside the city walls. Over the intervening 500y, the Spotted Dog has accumulated various architectural styles. Converted into a highwayman’s Inn in the early 19th Century, this Listed Building today stands derelict.
