Description

BARC0077 is designed to impart skills in the development of site-writing as a form of critical spatial practice. Critical spatial practice (Rendell, 2006) defines an approach to site-specific practice comprising projects which critique the sites into which they intervene, as well as question their own disciplinary limits. Site writing (2010) is a textual mode of critical spatial practice which considers situatedness and positionality in relation to writing, specifically in terms of voice, style, word and page, and explores how voice and textual strategies can be adopted as ways of responding to sites.
