Alexander Robinson's thesis research looks at designing a new perspective for the urbanism of our cities; the concept of Re-Amortization. A political act that will focus on duration and revaluing material embodied energy invested in existing buildings rather than that of just heritage. His main goal is to understand a new way of un-doing and continuing buildings so that we can better tackle and reduce the wasteful impacts that real estate development has on the environment as the accelerated cycle of extraction, production and destruction which it relies on are no longer appropriate for our processes of human initiated environment making.
