Architectural Association - Project Review 2008
'Young people are fitter to invent than to judge; fitter for execution than for counsel; and more fit for new projects than for settled business.'Francis Bacon
By longstanding tradition, Projects Review is the title for this annual compendium of student work at the Architectural Association School of Architecture, consisting of a book and, in a parallel convention, our end-of-year exhibition as well as this site. Strictly speaking, neither is a project nor a review, at least in the everyday sense that architects tend to use these terms. Even the most avantgardeof settings (or intentions) can get caught up in a web of associations (convention, repetition, habit) more architectural than even our name. I would suggest that such is the case with the AA’s enduring reuse of the same title at a school whose students have uncovered countless kinds of new architectural projects by simply going against exactly this kind of precedent. more>>>
