THE PYRAMID SCHEME
Studio Jacob SS 25
The studio's Pyramid Scheme brief asked: What is architecture when 'form' is off the table? Can such an archaic object as the Great Pyramid have contemporary relevance? How might the monumental and the singular be reimagined as collective and diverse? Can architecture engage with (or resist) totalising narratives?
On one hand, a very simple brief – design a pyramid exactly the same size as the Great Pyramid of Giza. But on the other hand, a difficult and puzzling problem – design a pyramid exactly the same size as the Great Pyramid of Giza.
