“Izinto esithetha ngazo ziphantse zibe yinto yomlingo. Ngengozi yendalo i-silicon etyhidiweyo (eyona nto ixhaphakileyo kwi-crust yomhlaba), xa ipholile ngononophelo, endaweni yokuba ibe yinto eyikristale kunye ne-opaque, ihlala i-molecularly amorphous kunye ne-transparent kwi-spectrum ebonakalayo ye-radiation efikelela kuthi ukusuka elangeni, ukuze amehlo ethu avisisanisene nayo… Ukuba besinqwenela ukuba izinto ezinjalo zibekho bekuya kuba kuhle ukuba sinikezele ngento ebonakala ingenakwenzeka.” ¹
Isicatshulwa esingentla, isiqwenga esivela kumbhalo omde, sesinye sezicatshulwa ezininzi endizidibanise kunye nemigca evela kwezinye iitekisi, ezibhalwe mhlawumbi amashumi eminyaka ngaphambili, kwisenzo sokudibanisa - ukuhlanganiswa ngokomzimba, okuqingqiweyo, ukuhlanganiswa kwekhonkrithi ngenjongo entsha. Oku kuphakamisa ngokuthe ngqo kwakunenjongo, ngelixa ukugcina izimbo zolwimi ezihambelanayo kwakubalulekile ngokwezinto eziphathekayo nangexeshana.
Iyonke le projekthi yayisekelwe kukudibana kwamathuba ngexesha lotyelelo kwenye 'yevenkile' kwikhampasi ye-NCAD, indawo apho ezo ncwadi zingafumaneki lula kwiishelfu zethala leencwadi zihamba khona - ezinye ziza kulityalwa, mhlawumbi zicinywe, zifihlwe amatye anqabileyo. phakathi kweekopi ezindala ze Ubugcisa eMelika kunye neeDVD ezingaqhelekanga. Ndijike, ndafumana 'imfumba' yokoqobo, uthuli olugcweleyo, kungekho nesitampu somboleki kwiphepha elingaphakathi-ukhetho lweencwadi ezithandekayo nezingahoywanga malunga neglasi.
Kwenye indawo, kwingqokelela engundoqo yethala leencwadi, yayiyiencyclopedic 1960 edition of Iglasi kwi-Architecture kunye nokuhlobisa nguRaymond McGrath kunye no-AC Frost. Le ncwadi yayiza kuba sisixhobo esiphambili sophando, kodwa ikwabonelela ngomongo ophambili wokubonwayo womsebenzi olandelayo, kunye nomsonto obalisayo ngendlela yombhali wayo oyintloko. Uzalelwe eOstreliya eyinzalelwane yase-Ireland, uMcGrath wayengomnye wabakhi bezakhiwo abangoovulindlela ngo-1930s eNgilani, ebalasele ekusebenziseni iglasi, ukukhanya kunye nombala. IMfazwe Yehlabathi yesiBini yambona efudukela eDublin, apho waba yi-OPW eyiNtloko ye-Architect, kwaye wayila isakhiwo esiqhelekileyo kuthi sonke kwihlabathi lobugcisa be-Irish-i-RHA Gallagher Gallery.
Le projekthi - eyafikelela kwiminyaka eliqela yophando kwimbali kunye nempembelelo yenkcubeko yeglasi - ifikelele kuvuthondaba kutshanje kumboniso obandakanya ifilimu, efakelweyo kunye nemisebenzi yefoto kwi-Irish Architectural Archive (IAA), ekwagcina amaxwebhu kaMcGrath, imizobo, imbalelwano. , kunye nezinye izinto. Ngaphezu kweminyaka elishumi emva kokudubula inxalenye yefilimu yam, Into Entsha Phantsi Kwelanga (2012), kwigumbi lokufunda le-IAA, igalari yogcino-mpepha ibonelele nge-'coda' (okanye iluphu) egqibeleleyo kumzimba womsebenzi malunga nexesha, imo engqongileyo eyakhiweyo, kunye nendlela esilijonga ngayo ihlabathi. Ukubandakanyeka kwe-IAA kongeze into entsha ngokupheleleyo kwiprojekthi, ngokubhekisele kwintshiseko, inkxaso, kunye nokundivumela ukuba ndikhethe kwiQolelo likaMcGrath ukuze ndilawule umboniso ngaphakathi komboniso.
Ndibe nethamsanqa lokusebenza ngokusondeleyo nabancedisi abakhethekileyo kuquka uKarl Burke, uLouis Haugh, uMichael Kelly, uOran Day, uMarysia Wieckiewicz-Carroll, noChris Fite-Wassilak. Ithala leencwadi le-NIVAL kunye ne-NCAD bezisoloko ziluncedo, zivumela ufikelelo oluphindaphindiweyo 'kwi-stack', uninzi lwazo oluvele kwifilimu. Inkxaso evela kwi-IADT indivumele ukuba ndifikelele kwisitudiyo esimangalisayo seSikolo seFilimu seSizwe, ngoncedo oluxabisekileyo lwabasebenzi nabafundi abaliqela kwimveliso. Le projekthi yenziwa yaba nokwenzeka ngenkxaso-mali yokuqala evela kwi-Ofisi yobuGcisa ye-DLR, kwaye emva koko iBhunga lobuGcisa, ukuvelisa ifilimu, umboniso, kunye nothotho lweendibano zocweyo zesikolo, eziyilwe ligcisa uMarian Balfe. Upapasho olukhaphayo lwapapashwa yiSet Margins', Eindhoven.
