Coping mechanisms: four dysfunctional machines

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Generally, the machine is characterised as masculine. Would it be possible to represent machines that are much more feminine in nature, that cosset humanity, encourage social interaction, and are not blind to our emotional lives, loves and heartaches? Chair of Architecture and Design at Western Sydney University and co-guest-editor of this AD, Michael Chapman explains some of his recent surreal architectural drawings that explore these notions.
