The Ruin in Question master copy _3_.pdf 1B |
Abstract
An inquisitorial encounter with the ruin in built form, this essay is arranged according to a series of questions-and-answers. The ruin in question was once St. Peter’s Seminary, theological college of the Roman Catholic Church and icon of post-war Scottish Modernist architecture. Set within a landscaped estate of parkland and woodland, luxuriantly overgrown since abandonment, the entire site is a crucible for ruinous thought and responsive action. The essay rewrites the ruin according to its past, present and possible future, offering sense-impressions of what is to be found in its midst, and the kinds of experimental performance that it invites.
