A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
A theoretical design for a chapel intended to celebrate the wind, this project explores how the method of bricollage can enrich architectural design. Imageries of birds and musical instruments are juxtaposed and then fused with the goal of discovering how the fortuitous parallels that emerge in such a process can provide a compositional armature controlling and ordering the seemingly freely associative actions of the bricoleur. The resulting building is an intrinsically melodic device evocative of avian form.
