Words before and after Works

Abstract

As a counterpoint to the publication of “Ardeth” Issue 12, this reflective addition supplements the previous issue’s theme, key words, with the support of a builtresearch work, “A House from Another House” (2022-2023). The piece draws attention towards a potential category mistake between the occurrences of words before they are related to specific architectural works and words after they are related to specific architectural works. With a contained focus on the sequence and proximity of their occurrences, we might be able to suggest that words before and after works actually exist quite differently and give something quite different in experience for those concerned with them.
