At the same time, the project engages the aesthetics and politics of conventional construction materials—those standardized and rendered affordable by the industrial logics embedded in their manufacture. By deliberately mistranslating these logics, the project produces new tectonic expressions and reframes the supposedly banal or generic as both expressive and specific.
This project was commissioned during COVID-19; design, communication, and fabrication were a solitary endeavor.
