architecture is wall
Architecture is Wall! was brought to life by a collaboration many years in conversation with Steve Burley Studio. It was meant as an entry for ngv architecture commision 2022, but It became a minfest for architecture. It reads:
Architecture is Wall!
Architecture is as simple as a doorway, an arch, a window.
Architecture is an enclosure, a place to sit, a place to do, an environment.
Architecture is about layering, about creating, about context.
And here, particularly, about visual context:
Blocks,
Towers,
Trees
and Art.
Construction makes wall. Construction creates urban.
Construction is material,
is modular,
is componentry.
Garden will tell you the history of walls, often mirroring the pathways outside.
Garden will suggest pathways,
direction,
endgame,
restart.
Architecture is graffiti on the landscape, is drawings in the city, is coloured glass on the ceiling.
Graffiti is interacting with it all, making marks on acrylic, on glass, on curtain, on the Wall.
Architecture is Wall!
