HFX Tactical Architecture: Time Lapse

 

The Halifax Tactical Architecture project is a temporary design+build intervention on the Halifax Citadel, and is an OPEN collaboration with Dalhousie Architecture.

A short, one-and-a-half-minute time lapse of the construction of the project. Shot over the course of two days — pieces we fabricated off-site and assembled in place.

The Free Lab course at Dalhousie Architecture is a condensed two week, post term course, that brings together a group of 9 people lead by the duo Architect Brad Pickard (Saskatchewan) and Intern Devin McCarthy of DSRA (Halifax). It is designed to be a collaborative project, and for this round I am part of a group of 6 undergrad students and 3 graduate students.
