Martha Markopoulou graduated Masters in Architectural Design from the Bartlett with distinction.
Martha Markopoulou's research project focuses on the inquiry of the possible relations between language and architecture and it is based on the novel "Salammbo" by Gustave Flaubert (1862). It is research on how an architectural system could embody a novel's narrative and syntax and how we could construct a physical reality out it. It is an attempt to conceive architecture as the physical body of a "fluid text". The project consists of a series of softly oscillating devices that translate in space and time the conditions found in the narrative, concerning points of view, change of direction, speed, perspective and scale. The barbaric aesthetic aims to reveal the exotic beauty that exists Salammbo's world of literature.
