Stentorian
|
Stentorian We were invited to make a site-specific installation as part of the ongoing exhibition series at the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc). Entitled, “Stentorian,” the installation explored the opportunity to bring together a set of interests in conditions of plasticity, presence and the ephemeral. A series of minimal geometric shapes, constructed of metal and elastics, occupied the gallery as a set of interrelated spatial figures that both informed and deformed the space. The installation mined delightful variation by changing the parameters within a simple structural system. Based on a set of varying compression and tension structures, Stentorian manifested a convergence of our interest in performance, optimization, structure and the ineffable, inexplicable human sense rendered by the fantastic act of architecture. As a series of undulating vessels, Stentorian suspended forms in space with the grace of a Flamenco dancer, achieving presence through plasticity. Project credits:
