Abstract

This thesis wishes to unravel and exaggerate the underpinning absurdity in design held by the boring and mundane of the everyday. Specifically, it is inspired by the movement a of Surrealism (art), Theatre of The Absurd (theatre/film), and Creative Salvage (furniture). It will include a careful examination of the absurd methodology: a process in which serving the space and the object from its useless meaning and embracing the ordinary through its extraordinariness. This thesis will question the familiar in a subversive way, embracing its potential implications on the "absurd" within the architectural discipline.
