CURATOR REVIEW STEDEX '09


This special collection of sustainable tropical environmental design exhibition or STEDEX '09 has opened a new chapter in constructing an identity of thought and a subject of imagination. Creating and proposing a new discourse on sustainability while giving awareness and optimism are important. This inspiration has been marginalised within contemporary culture and its ontological phenomena of natural surroundings. Therefore, the exhibition tries to change and develop new spectacles of intentionality and is perceived as ‘sense datum’ about design thinking and spiritual experiences in an environment which is still struggling with the flux of changes. The idea of change gives ‘emergent’ or ‘coming into being’ the possibility of thought from a subject-object dichotomy. This approach can function as a reference point to the conscious of self and its representations. It is an attempt to reach the unconsciousness of thought through an archaeological method whether in the nature of an epistemological or ‘sense experience’ in relation to all models of language and images. In this regard, ‘sustainable’ appears to be a global discourse. It has become a social reality in the environment of being and is organised at its most profound level.

The intention to know and to participate at this level in the dialogue on sustainability have some restricted dimensions of meaning. However the appearance suggests the sense of awareness to each mode of expression and ‘idea proposition’. STEDEX '09 hopes to open tendencies towards a dynamic and an ‘emergent’ break without any kind of static-and develop a constructive subject as the product of the discourse-with particular objects that everyone endeavors to know. This documented exhibition tries to position the identity of thought and being as the subject of interpretation in an ‘open system’. It refers to the fact that the psychic space of the subject is sustainably open to change and modification. Further, it is able to expand and enrich imaginary and symbolic capacities hence, opens up the path to deeper questions and possibilities
