Group Work with Xiaoyu Lei | Spring 2019
Video animations are created to represent the progress of becoming — a progress that architectural elements like doors and windows make random geometrical blocks visually become architecture. These FOLLIES are unrestrained combinations of blocks. They become seemingly architectural pieces by re-adapting, re-shuffling, and re-orienting the regulated Revit family blocks.
Final pieces in this animation are rendered as architectural pieces, but they are still not stable standing building structures. The toy-like objects created in this virtual game animation call into the question of the definiation of “architecture” -- Is that an inhabitable space? An approachable space? A space with doors and windows? Or simply a folly attains its function ?
