Object Building/City Object
2015
Object Building/City Object liberates all entities from their context and adapts them to some strange and unexpected behaviors. It is a result of non-hierarchical and non-systematic figure-figure, figure-object, and object-figure relationships. A series of entities — walls, columns, voided space, staircases, New York-apartment types, pipes, wires, rooms — are a bunch of things that could possibly constitute a building or even a city. This project was an exploration of a combinatorial manner different from general compositional strategies such as assemblage, arrangement, superimposing, overlapping, and layering. With this approach, the entities share their formal properties, attributes, and architectural meanings to affect and transform the current status of their initial characteristics, becoming a new architectural object with unique qualities.
