The Destructive Character or The Belfast Archives Part 2 Project 2018 Ali Zine École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Paris-Belleville, | France The Destructive Character, a writing by Walter Benjamin, serves as the starting point of this reflection on the role of destruction in the shaping of the city. Institutional, militaristic or self-inflicted; destruction has become a banal occurrence in West Belfast. This thesis explores the relationship between destruction and the domestic space. The Belfast Archives is a polemical response to the current condition of home confinement. Tutor(s) Noël Dominguez Paul Gresham
