Analogue city - urban artefacts as objects of affection
In Surrey Pavilion, the analogue city functions as a window display in the Sales Gallery ‘storefront’. The abstract model expresses our intentions in Central Downtown.
We like to produce visuals based on the ISOP (ideas, people, objects, and physical interaction) method of exhibition design. We derived the concept from “The Architecture of the City’, by Aldo Rossi, in which he proposed the “Analogue City” — a different reality based on memory; the experienced city.
Rossi’s “Analogue City” is a design-collage that proved a city could be depicted using basic concepts of time and place. What we found in analogue city was a creative process with a surreal basis.
