PURE
WAR
The research project OF PURE WAR is creating a language of form for warfare, using military strategy and the generations of modern warfare.
These generations of warfare encapsulate the history of war, providing a context and transition for a visual form to progress into the current conflict conditions of the world.
The creation of a speculative “war machine” translates the military strategy and philosophy of war into a new spatial language.
The form is to comment and reflect on the current world conflict, creating a spatial form to better understand the effect on the urban environment and its people.
The War Machine is the essence of conflict and war in a physical form.
How can Architectural form be explained in relation to warfare?
