Associate Professor Zachary Colbert and Professor Ozayr Saloojee display recent work conducted during their research leave in a joint exhibition, Field Notes from Elsewhere. The work leverages architectural media toward new understandings of place.
Through constructed maps and photocollages, Colbert’s work challenges dominant ways of seeing and knowing the Colorado Plateau. It reframes iconic landscapes to expose processes of imperial property formation, Indigenous dispossession, and environmental inequity. Architecture and urbanism are deeply implicated in these transformations as their primary expression.
Using a process of “as-built,” and “as-remembered,” Saloojee uses architectural drawings, photographs, video, archival material, and personal experience of visiting sites as the base materials for a drawing project. The project attempts to destabilize the analytique, a drawing problem characteristic of the Beaux-Arts method of architectural education.
