Show all dates
Experiments on Living from the Last 500 Years Curated by Gabriele Kaiser and Martin Feiersinger
Is geometry livable? What spaces open up in one's own "four walls" beyond the dogmas of functionalism?
What traces has the longing for a normative, "pure," perhaps even "autonomous" architecture left in modernity?
What do the ideal designs of Durand and Ledoux have to do with a bivouac by Charlotte Perriand?
The exhibition "The Inclination Towards Geometry" explores the fascinating timeless core of architecture - the interplay of form, body, and space - through models, spatial objects, drawings, photographs, and a specially created floor plan atlas.
The research engagement of the Vienna-based architect Martin Feiersinger with geometry playfully navigates between historical reference, theory, and current practice. He is fascinated by experiments with space beyond the powerful typologies of churches and government palaces.
Starting from a broad interest in private spaces or "artist houses" (or residential buildings created by architects for themselves), he has been exploring for many years the geometric experiments of Sebastiano Serlio and Vincenzo Scamozzi, from Fischer von Erlach to Lois Welzenbacher, from John Hejduk and Richard Buckminster Fuller to Anne Tyng's "Inhabiting Geometry" and the playfully intertwined residential architectures of Parisian architect Renée Gailhoustet.
