(investigator formerly known as architect): an architectural thesis disguised as a murder investigation

Abstract

When architecture student, Alexander Barr, is murdered inside of a mysterious room in an undisclosed location, (investigator formerly known as architect) is hired by an unknown suspect in order to solve the crime. To find the murderer, (investigator formerly known as architect) must find new ways of doing architecture before time runs out; however, nothing here is quite as it seems. in this darkened landscape, tangled duplicity, time loops, and unlikely clues challenge one’s understanding of spatiality and identity. As evidence reveals itself, an unlikely character might be the prime suspect of his Alexander Barr’s murder... What happens when the architect’s dedication to solve the climate crisis becomes a pawn in the game of binary thinking? When do dreamscapes end and investigations begin? How do we find other ways of doing architecture? Which parts of us must die so others may live? ...Who murdered Alexander Barr? ...why was he the central target of the crime?...and what did he know?
