About This Zine

This is a zine documenting my PhD research that sits at the crossroads of Brutalist architecture, psychogeography, punk, Situationist theory, and urban decay. It started during my MA, which resulted in a digital dérive map, still online in the menu. Now, it's expanding into something messier: field notes, analogue photos, fragments of readings, détournements, dead ends, and breakthroughs.

Research Focus

I'm looking at how the raw material of the city (concrete, graffiti, dead spaces, tower blocks) shaped subcultures and counter-movements. Especially in Britain. Especially when things began to fall apart. The project draws on punk's rage, the Situationists' dérives, and the architecture of failed utopias.

What You'll Find Here

You'll find here traces: things I made, things I found. Some are mine, others credited. This is not a finished archive, it's a working space. A collage of research in motion. If you're into cities, resistance or just want to look closer at the cracks in the concrete, welcome.
