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.

Big thanks to my amazing fabricator, Mark Taylor, who built this complex structure so it could safely hang from the ceiling.

A floorless room without walls

I am super excited about being in the current show at The Lab, "A floorless room without walls," curated by Chris Fitzpatrick and Marcella Faustini.

Similar to most of my projects, but especially true in this case, my piece, "Architecture on architecture," is hard to document. It is best experienced at The Lab, relating to the other works in this artfully considered show. But, for those who can't visit, here is my best shot:







There also was a review of the show in The SF Weekly.
