notes



Part of today's machinations.

Earlier plots at installation site.

The Apartment's porch.

A fabricated structure for an other artist work on ping pong table.


Amazing cover and interesting book. Here are some slices:

"The Baroque building can only be grasped through one's experiencing it in its variety of effects. ... Walls and vaults of Baroque buildings are liberated from the plane surface and interact vigorously with both interior and exterior space." p.10 Baroque and Rococo Architecture by Henry A. Milton

"The wall surface is difficult to determine. Even when the wall does show itself from between burgeoning masses, it is ruptured by nitche that presses against the plaster on either side. The main sensation is that of powerful massive structural members purposefully describing a strongly conceived space and not simply subdividing a wall surface." p.11 ibid

Some illustrations:

Love these stairs.

Curved doorway

Curved building

Cool corner.
