Some Personal Notes On Antihero Architecture

The title of this thesis is antihero, perhaps the everyday work of architecture could be framed as antiheroic. An apparatus of reproduction is how the thesis strives toward an antihero position in architecture. It begins by looking at surroundings and making copies of those, especially the crappy ones, whether or not replicas, copies, erasures, et cetera. To set up the reproduction as process, the object or the thing is investigated through its production methods of labor and craft. The apparatus replicates the object/thing in a different way is different from its original by making it in different hands, new materials, and collaborative process.
