PULP

PULP Architecture GOES GAT - Roger Connah

PULP Architecture is not quite (yet) a new architectural programme.

PULP is a strategy, an attitude, a parti,a google, an alibi, a motor, an engine,a scroll, a resistance,an optimism, a seduction, a fatigue and possibly an ethic….(the list is not closed)
If movement itself is essential to our contemporary existence then Pulp Architecture can only ever be a movement-in-progress.
PULP responds to changing social,cultural and economic conditions.
PULP learns mortgage and developmental terminology to appropriate planning inertia.
PULP must even respond to political uncertainty, terror, surveillance politics and deceit.
PULP cannot avoid the new media but it can programme its potential uses within architecture.
PULP explores how these conditions and others could re-program architecture. In a contemporary condition ‘between’rather than ‘within’,
PULP is theory and anti-theory.
PULP is a transportable architecture that seems to wish to stay on the edge.
PULP is trans-urbanism, trans-architecture
PULP is awkwardness before it is smoothed out.
PULP architecture respects but rejects the star architecture system of individualised spectacles.
PULP challenges existing architecture as much as it challenges architecture already on the edge.
PULP is an architecture informed and fashioned from film, street culture,art, play, terror, surveillance, the hacker, ethic, shopping, surveillance,war and new media…….
PULP is not only a fiction!
