The Space Between, 28 Fenian Street, Dublin 2
Rupture of Plane & AAI presents:
Jordan Ralph (JRD) X Snarkitecture – an immersive eve of talks, discussions & more.
Creating worlds, portals to another place, and the deep sense of feeling a space can deliver are what fascinate and align these two creators. What stands them apart is their unique individual expression of this desire and how that takes form in the world.
Come join as we step through the portal and into their worlds.
We’re so excited to welcome Jordan back to The Space Between, where he was lead designer, along with the Alexander Buckeridge of Snarkitecture, who left Carlow in search for the unknown, for an eve of talks and trips.
Date: Wednesday 14th December.
Doors: 7pm with a glass of White Ralph served on arrival.

Bios:
Jordan Ralph (JRD) is an architectural, interior and product designer.
Working across various scales and formats, Jordan explores memorable ways design can be used to bring a concept to life, and in turn an aliveness to spaces.
Rethinking materials to create memorable and visceral spacial dialogues is a feature of his work.
The JRD studio was established with a focus on creating new and immersive worlds. Jordan seeks to extract the essence of a project or concept’s core values, distill them down and translate them into a unique one of a kind experience creating feelings of space, calmness and presence unique to each project.
Alexander Buckeridge (Irl) is a Director at Snarkitecture, a collaborative practice made up of 12 designers based in New York City.
Snarkitecture was established to investigate the boundaries between art and architecture. The name is drawn from Lewis Carroll’s The Hunting of the Snark, a poem describing the “impossible voyage of an improbable crew to find an inconceivable creature.” In its search for the unknown, Snarkitecture creates architectural-scale projects, installations, and objects.
Snarkitecture’s work focuses on the reinterpretation of everyday materials, structures and programs to new and imaginative effect. With a conceptual approach centred on the importance of experience, the studio creates unexpected and memorable moments that invite people to explore and engage with their surroundings. By transforming the familiar into the extraordinary, Snarkitecture makes architecture perform the unexpected, creating “portals” into the unknown.
