WORKS OF GORDON MATTA-CLARK ANARCHITECTURE - A CONFLATION OF THE WORDS ANARCHY & ARCHITECTURE

SPLITTING, 1974

CONICAL INTERSECT, 1975

BINGO, 1974

Manipulative verb: To split

Manipulative verb: To drill through

Manipulative verb: To peel

THE OBJECT A plastic expanding folder is bought in the Brotherhood of St Laurence Store (op shop) in the Royal Arcade Basement off Bourke Street Mall.

More specifically, the object is made of polypropylene that is extremely flexible. Upon inspection, the ability for the folder to expand and retract is due to the folded panels on each sides, achieved by dividing the sheets into equal lengths and folding them them in a zig-zag manner.

The outer part is a thicker polypropylene that makes it difficult to manipulate, whereas the inner part consist of thin translucent polypropylene sheets which can be bent into any shape at will, providing more flexibility in object manipulation process.

For the next phase of object manipulation, the internal material will be utilised.

The outcome of the manipulation reveals the organic and flexible nature of the material. It created an interesting visual effect through layering and distancing between the layers of polypropylene. The translucency and malleability in architecture elements blurs and manipulates the perception of one experiencing it.

DIGITAL REMODEL

Tecnhiques of sweeping and lofting were used in creating the complex organic and flowing forms resulted by the object manipulation.

Base curves are firstly created in Rhino using interpolate curve. However, to reduce trial and error, Grasshopper was also utiliesed to produce the correct shape. The algorithm generates a much faster result in altering parameters of the control points within the base curve.

Series of maze-like open-air passageways, corridors and rooms which are designed to help visitors rediscover the garden.

The walls shift from translucent to opaque, aiming to hide and reveal aspects of the garden, including artworks, furniture, trees and other visitors simultaneously.

SOHLBERGPLASSEN VIEWPOINT Carl-Viggo Hølmebakk 2005 Stor-Elvdal, Norway

The geometry and structure of the platform is said to be inspired by the densely growing pine trees on the hill side and the distant mountains. Structure was integrated into the surrounding.

Completion of viewing platform dealt no damage to the environment.

Subtle and respectful relationship with location. The project highlights the singularity of this landscape and to stimulate a surprising effect on the visitor.

Narrow paths that cross the moulds of volcanic stone follow a zigzag path which create a gradual discovery among the users. Material acquire colour and texture in accord with the rocky landscape.
