DRAW CONTRIBUTE A MODEL TO THE 2008 VENICE ARCHITECTURAL BIENNALE. - JUN.04.2008
The submitted model illustrates our search for design opportunities in a global city of increasingly tight margins, intense development competition, client restraint, inordinate regulation and elevated land value. In this instance a balcony zone, where floor space is unregulated and inexpensive to build, is seized upon as a design ʻmomentʼ.
An undulating metal screen wraps the rationalised [orange] mass of a speculative apartment building, inscribing a spatial field that is neither inside or out.
