X-Ray Parafictional Reality - Design Studio Complex Morphologies Angelica Lorenzi

With Yifan Wang

Statement Today we live in a world entirely dominated by the production, proliferation and consumption of images. Image literacy is, arguably, one of the most crucial skills we need in order to go about our daily lives, distinguishing the real from the fake, the authentic from the artificial, the relevant from the frivolous. This workshop reuqire to walk a tightrope between conditions in order to challenge our comtemporary means of architectural representation, and begain to construct unique attitude towards the critical reality. Choosing the South Broadway of Los Angeles to start with the design, where are full of contradictions and strange abutments. Taking the design from curiosity workshop, we choose the Grand Central Market to place our design. Squeezing the design object on top of the fish shop adjacent to the market place, we want to create wired juxtapositions between the ambiguous and the market place. We call it modern Levithan, which is created accidentally by human production. The market is one of the crowdest places in Los Angeles. The waste, trashes are produced daily cause invisible hazards day by day, and eventually forms a strong power to fight against human in the apocalyptical era.
