A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
AbstractShadows bring a sense of animated vitality to any building, and their representations on drawings add a sense of depth and believability to that which is being illustrated. Nat Chard, Professor of Experimental Architecture at University College London (UCL), has a longstanding interest in movement, optics, photography and the intangible spaces in between them. His Institute of Paradoxical Shadows cleaves the shadow from its material datum, leaving it hanging, a suspended spectral entity, encountered through a séance‐like trance of cognitive confusion.
