Studio Ground Rule: No looking things up!

  • Step 1 List ten buildings that are significant to you.
  • Step 2 Select one building that you can remember something about the interior space.
  • Step 3 Make collages of the spatial qualities and relations between rooms and exterior spaces.

The collages were used for investigations in three dimensions, influenced by memories and, in particular, the laconae (the forgotten—what wasn’t remembered).

“One calls language the most beautiful of all divine gifts, but would life be any less beautiful if men were to speak to each other only through either music or through the visual arts?”

—Schinkel
