OFFICE (Kersten Geers & David Van Severen) | Solo House, Cretas, Spain
Two axes, a false symmetry and half a table!
(listening to No Surprises Radiohead, nothing would do better!)

Matthew Trygve Tung | Henniker Point, Brewster-Douglass
“My drawings focus on detailed breakdowns of order and form and highlight the impossibility of a world in which everything is quantifiable. Emptiness frames and is framed by the buildings at the center of my drawings. The concreteness of the architecture is suspended in the vast negative-space of the paper, as the buildings themselves are punctuated by countless voids, window after window broken and empty, undoing the systems of order the architects and builders sought to establish. The drawings often exist on the verge of abstraction just as the buildings themselves have been abstracted by their circumstances, in their physical reality, as well as their purpose and function. Each drawing is measured and calculated, yet as in the buildings they capture, the initial intent is always metamorphosed by the passage of man and time, each drawn mark becoming a record of my hand and my time, transforming the pieces from an objective, impersonal examination into a personal, labored meditation.”

Francesco Venezia | Museo a Gibellina, Gibellina
This is an example of contemporary Spolio architecture. Venezia went to Gibellina after the huge earthquake of the Belice Valley. He took the rests of the walls of Palazzo di Lorenzo and moved them to the site of the New Gibellina. He put this fragment into a project where the “wall type” become the only element of importance, and he created a poetic series of architectural gestures: concepts like limit and parcours here are emphasized towards a breathtaking ensemble. Here the “architectural promenade” make sense in its simpler and more conscious way.

RESIDENTIAL BUILDING / WOHNHOF AM GOETHEPARK IN CHARLOTTENBURG, BERLIN 1980
There’s a sense of assimilation in this work. The typical berlin block (destroyed by the war) is completed by Ungers that use this occasion to elaborate a series of variation of different typological elements, such as doors, windows, openings.

Invention, passing through philology. Beautiful pastiche!
