A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
It is hard to imagine anything more darkly moody than a slow‐rotating, ultra‐black asteroid lurking in deep outer space. Los Angeles‐based practice Hirsuta's recent Mathilde project is directly inspired by such an object, turning it inside out in an inversion of space and form. Jason Payne, principal of this practice, which combines a focus on materiality and sensual stimulation with an exploration of emerging construction technologies, describes it.
