MANUAL OF ARCHITECTURAL POSSIBILITIES: QUARANTINE


In a few days a research publication by David Garcia Studio called MAP will be publishing an issue on Quarantine.  Here are a couple boards from the issue for your inspiration.  


Four projects are treated in this issue: A Domestic Isolation Unit, an Instantly Quarantinable Farm, a Zoo of Infectious Species, and a Quarantined Library on a cargo ship. Along with the projects, the fact page focuses on a series of topics regarding quarantine, from the biological to the political, the geographical and beyond.


MAP (Manual of Architectural Possibilities) is a publication of research and visions; research into territories, which can be concrete or abstract, but always put into question. Map is not a magazine (it only has two pages) and is not a book (it is issued twice a year). Map presents itself as a folded poster (A1) where information is immediate, dense and objective in one side, and architectural and subjective on the other. Map is a guide to potential actions in the built environment, a folded encyclopedia of the possible, a topography of ideas, or a poster on the wall.
