Place, a scaleless realm of territory in which architecture performs, cannot be understood as a purely physical context. It cannot be divorced from temporal effects of time nor the ideological concerns of other actors. The contexts in which architecture exists are constructed from an interconnected ecology of people, place, and time that manifest complex notions of culture in space. The following body of work seeks to understand architecture as a reciprocal medium that engages with complex inputs across the physical and nonphysical terrain in which it acts, while at the same time becoming an input itself, embedding the practice with agency. This study positions architecture as a dynamic force in a spatial ecology and explores through three lenses how the practice simultaneously represents and refigures the cultural: Situations, Dissimulations, and Dispositions.
