‘iennial’...

 

For the viewer, her body is on display and if, as she says, it is the place where she dwells, her words then have the potential of an ever-evolving point of departure.   A wonderful outlook considering, as the joshing goes, what comes after an ‘iennial’... The New Museum departed from their typical ‘younger than Jesus’ age range, yet inclusion simply marks...
understand this is a huge statement, but I feel secure, perhaps biased, as I too would benefit from a shake-up of the status-quo.

Doboz Bar

Doboz Bar is situated in the heart of Budapest’s entertainment district at the World Heritage site of the Old Jewish Quarter.

Its protected building is a great example of early eclecticism of the 1880s with a classicist ground floor, and was transformed to a bar and entertainment center by 81font architects. The project came into the spotlight again recently after its designers were nominated for Highlights of Hungary and took the Forbes magazine special prize.

Summoning Stones

 

Artisan and manual labor play a key role in the work of Macías Peredo. The studio creates strategies that make it possible to incorporate a certain level of improvisation and imprecision into the implementation of their projects. Their intervention in the LIGA gallery pursues the same philosophy. Inspired by a moving quote from Adolf Loos about the human quality of worked granite, the architects direct our attention to the very material of the gallery floor: black volcanic recinto stone. The couple from Jalisco asked for 33 tons of this locally-sourced material in its rawest and easiest-to-obtain form, such as the irregular leftovers from commercial quarrying. Working together with a team of builders, an intuitive process of testing piles of stone began. Based on a general idea of the floor plan composition, Macías Peredo react to “what the stone demands of them” and create structural solutions on the fly.

the Image of the Interior

 

Charles Rice will discuss his research on the domestic interior. He will focus on methodological issues, in particular the understanding of the interior as an historically emergent category, and the reading of photographic images as a particular kind of historical evidence.
