Picture made with wire and nails. Owl made with wire and nails
Horses suspended wires made Sandrine Pelletier. In the 70s and 80s these crafts made in wire and nails were popular, also they are made with wires and taught in schools, but some artists turned it into art as Sandrine Pelletier, Kumi Yamashita and others. Currently exhibitions of this kind and make large format, called INSTALLATION.

Conceptual models (make a conceptual model of what you want to do).

FRIDAY : SUN MOON STONES
WORK 70/101
REAL IMAGE…
Digital image
The real thing .
ON FRIDAY
(Document in two images your work: a picture of the real thing, and an image in which you digitally transform the first picture to enhance its meaning). Search, find, get inspired, steal, adjust‌ transform the original empty space into something new using those strings. Use the wool to make strings to play with the space. We live in an age where the boundaries between real and digitally transformed are very thin and blurred. There we are and on these contradictions we need to work and be.

Documentation (find inspiration, sources,relevant examples). Some of the works that appear in the Collage belong to : TOMAS SARRACENO, Argentine artist. JANETH ECHELMAN, American Artist. NIKE SAVVAS, Australian Artist. PAE WHITE, Californian artist. GABRIEL DAWE, Mexican Artist. To all of them we can find in Art Installation in www.pinterest.com These artists and many more in the world belong to new artistic generations that handle monumental
works on threads, wires and lights, amaze us and perplexing with their jobs. This week’s brief is to build a structure following a system we used last year in Berlin to set-up our #blaueblumen exhibition.
In Berlin, our structure was floating (hanging from the ceiling). This time, it should be placed on the floor You have to work “inside” (ideally in an empty room, but this is up to you).
• TUESDAY : QUALITY IS NOT
WORK 72/101
A digital conceptual model of your spatial structure in the space you chose. The three dimensional structure placed in your space will generate an architectural concept.
• WEDNESDAY : VALID FOR EVERYBODY WORK 73/101
Now, try to understand how we worked in Berlin. How the structure was set up. The joints. The relevance of the strings inside the newspaper bones. Make sure you have all the materials and tools to get your structure working and looking fine. Newspapers, tape, strings, scissors. Nothing less, nothing more.
• THURSDAY : THINK SIMPLE AS
WORK 74/101
The making of (document how you set-up your thing)
FRIDAY : RARELY HAS
WORK 75/101
Watch out because our little structure seems like something easy to make, but it is not! Find some time and plan it right.All of this is a tricky business!
To deal with something difficult thinking it was easy is quite a common situation in architecture. And in life as well. Learning to deal with this kind of situation can be extremely useful. The making-of is part of the final result. Be aware of this and use it as a communication tool to enhance your messages and meanings.

Ancient paper, from a manuscript, to many multiple uses. Many techniques and so many designers whose partner has been the paper, creating complex structures, graceful curtains, beautiful bisuterie or paper lamps. Some names: ALEXANDER COLDER, NENDO, KIRSTEN HASSENFELD,HANGING ORIGAMI...... To view thousands of things done on paper go to curtain paper: www.pinterest.com
TUESDAY : ARCHITECTURE STARTS.
WORK 77/101
Today, like any other Tuesday in Part 3, you have to make a conceptual model of what you want to do. In a different way, “in paper we trust”.
WEDNESDAY : ONLY WORK WHICH
WORK 78/101
Now, find and gather the best tools for achieving the best results. One more thing: add an artificial source of light to illuminate your ingredients. It can be a light bulb,a balanced-arm lamp, an abat-jour. A lamp. As simple as possible.
THURSDAY : FOR YOU I KNOW
WORK 79/101
You set up your paper machine,making sure to take nice pictures of the “making-of�. Once again, make sure you properly control the lights. Light is the key ingredient for your exercise.
FRIDAY : PUT OUT THE LIGHT
WORK 80/101
It’s Friday: it’s time for the real thing (to be documented into two images: a picture of the real space, and a second picture in which you digitally transform the first one to enhance meanings).
WHAT WILL I LEARN?
You have a whole weekend to watch movies. You’ll learn the relevance of movies in the definition of contemporary architecture. You can’t understand contemporary architecture (or the way architects think), if you don’t explore cinema

They say the eyes are the windows to the soul, and the windows are the lifeblood of any construction, are contradictory, are closed in winter to keep the heat, in summer and remain open to be fresh, close to not see us, the opened to see others, windows, windows old, new, antique , Victorian, Gothic, contemporary, modern, absurd, flowery, beautiful, ugly, but indispensable windows in any home, rich or poor, building or home or cave, blessed are the windows.
TUESDAY: BE NOT AFRAID OF
WORK 87/101
In this task light devices I started to make the window from scratch, but I finished I did not like, and I really wanted to do the CAMERA OBSCURA from Design 101 and then changed.
WEDNESDAY: WHEN I WAS ALIVE
WORK88/101
To make a Camera Obscura you need a room with lots of sunlight, lot of cardboard, masking tape, silicone a lot of and a good helper very "awake". Nothing more, nothing less‌
THURSDAY: BE THINE OWN
WORK 89/101
Today is Thursday, a challenging day. Today is the making-of day. You have to document how you set-up your thing.
FRIDAY: NO HOUSE SHOULD
WORK 90/101
And here's the bottom line, after all I did, you can imagine how happy I was. The reflected images with amazing sharpness, sorry I do not have a good camera photos and only with the Cell I could take. Later I could not resist the temptation of the games with the light filtering through the cracks, and took some photos. Like any other Friday: we get into the real thing.
What will I learn? Not to get distracted. Why do we do this? Again, it is because of these conceptual aspects in an architect’s life. A continuos: think / make / think /make / think / make. It’s actually worse, because “think & make” always overlap in the most curious, unexpected and obnoxious ways…
