ARCH PROJECT
Making more room in the urban landscape.
I always love to pear into the windows of architecture firms and look at the models that never get realized. What a wonderful world it be if all those building were built. This has something to do with my childhood love of legos.
It kills me to see great ideas go up in smoke or better yet never get realized and destroyed in the design production process. I always love to pear into the windows of architecture firms and look at the models that never get realized. What a wonderful world it be if all those building were built. This has something to do with my childhood love of legos.
What is left are the charred remains and the historical documentation of the buildings that no longer exist or once was a dream by some architect.. Some influences are hinted by the work of Sigmar Polkes drawings on canvass, Rem Koolhass ideas of shopping, Peter Haley squares and the grid system and Frank Lloyd Wrights lost buildings. These are a few texts i am currently reading at the moment.
These are some current questions i keep asking myself.

vernacular and domestic architecture of Los Angeles to that found in the Western
and Eastern United States.
