Architecture with More

Hi All,

In 1980 Coop Himmelblau said that they wanted architecture to have more: 

"Architecture that bleeds, that exhausts, that whirls and even breaks. Architecture that lights up, that stings, that rips and under stress, tears. Architecture should be cavernous, firey, smooth, hard, angular, brutal, round, delicate, colourful, obscene, voluptuous, dreamy, alluring, repelling, wet, dry, throbbing. Alive or dead. Cold then cold as a block of ice. Hot then hot as a blazing wing."

Unfortunately, almost 40 years later, there still aren't many examples of architecture with this kind of passion.

This week in studio we will be looking at movement, one way of bringing more to architecture.

Begin by taking a look at this pinterest board for inspiration.

Regards

Russell
