This work is framed in a black frame.
Architectural discourse relies on the digital interpretation of space; its practice on the extrapolation of resource. A quarry, wedged between urban streets of Glasgow and the naturalised Kilpatrick Hills, is captured through the digital language of points, lines, and meshes; translating physical surfaces into the digital. This language - that which so much of architectural discourse and practise relies on - is simultaneously entrenched in a society's need to defend, detect, destroy and arm the landscape, developed and still used today by militaries globally. It is here used to discover the exploitation of resource, and the disarmament of the natural.
