Island Table | Neil Spiller

September 23, 2012 by bg-martin

Island Table by Neil Spiller “Research by Neil Spiller is centred upon how architecture is invigorated by cyberspace, the blurred boundary between the virtual and the actual, and how the different parameters of these spaces can be used to inform one another. Neil Spiller’s early experience in practice was that buildings are limited by the inert materials used to construct them and by the unimaginative ideas of what a building should look like and be. Research by Neil Spiller draws upon […]

The Lost City | James-Rennie

September 19, 2012 by bg-martin

The Lost City James-Rennie “A foreign man is lost, he wanders the system, his movement is arbitrary, he finds himself in a space that is dissimilar to spaces he has experienced in the past. The surfaces seem to speak to him, perhaps pull him in. He feels the dry surface of a decomposed concrete wall, as he does this he feels as if he is pushing through the surface, whether this is a physical or a mental movement he can not tell. […]

Walls | Paola Iacucci

Walls | Paola Iacucci | Piazza di Aosta | 1989 Pencil, black ink, wash and watercolor on paper. Architect’s statement: “This drawing belongs to a small series of drawings that try to investigate the nature of space as matter, and of urban space, with an almost automatic approach. These drawings have helped me to open an idea of space that was totally implosive: to understand relations of discontinuity and movement within the whole of spatial matter. These drawings are not a […]

Piranesi’s Campo Marzio | Stanley Allen

September 16, 2012 by bg-martin

Piranesi’s Campo Marzio: An Experimental Design by Stanley Allen | 1989 Black ink and photocopy on Mylar. “This project intends an excavation – though drawing and writing – of the “negative utopia” drawn by Piranesi for the Campo Marzio of Rome. I have conceived of Piranesi’s large plan (the grande pianta) as a site to be colonized, covered over and modified, as when a building is erected on ruins. My attempt is to uncover and articulate the surplus residue of […]

Analysis of Wittgenstein House | Peggy Deamer

September 15, 2012 by bg-martin

Analysis of Wittgenstein House | Peggy Deamer | Vienna | 1980 “The Stonborough-Wittgenstein House, designed by Ludwig Wittgenstein in 1926-28 for his sister’s family, was a project undertaken between the writing of his Tractus and The Philosophical Investigations. The analysis of this house, unlike others, aligns it with the latter philosophical work and thereby sees the design as a rejection of the possibility of references to external ‘reality’. Instead, like the rules of the ‘language games’ that form the core […]
