2018
OBJECTIVE
NEW YORK, NY
SAW was a recipient of the 2018 Architectural League Prize for Young Architects + Designers from The Architectural League of New York.
The accompanying exhibit consisted of a series of 18” x 18” x 6” sectional and elevational models, cut in unconventional ways in order to isolate particular ‘loaded moments’ within nine projects. These models are abstract in their disassociation from the rest of the building/project and ambiguous in scale, but also specific in the expression of detail. Gradually shifting gradients of light overlay another layer of information - ephemeral and memory-like - through several of the models from the subtle glow of LED loops. The box frame freezes a focused spatial condition, while the image overlay projects a subjectivity defined by a viewer – reinforcing the premise that objects are defined by perception at a particular moment in time.
Materials: basswood, paint, glue, lights, & poplar shadow boxes.
