Let the line that divides art from architecture be transparent. This project gave rnus an opportunity to bring our influences, inspirations, aspirations and years of rnarchitectural design to bear in one place with only ourselves and our budget to rndefine the boundaries. rnrnCubists looked beyond the mechanical view of how the eye sees and employed rnthe brain’s ability to remember and anticipate, allowing one to take in a rnseemingly disjointed array of phenomena but still have the whole make sense. rnThe increasing plasticity of lightweight building materials allows us some of the rnCubists’ slight-of-hand to simultaneously evoke the immediacies of built form as rnwell as architectural dream states - the hovering roof, translucencies between rninside and outside, and walls that are not walls.
