Constructional architecture

"My installations are site-specific works dependent upon the space they occupy. Utilizing existing lines, beams, and angles, each piece I create is informed by the individual site and its unique linear movement. Thus, my installations are inherently architectural." Rebecca Ward

Dave Bollinger
"Catalog of some variations at depth 2 using only linear scaling rules (ie, excluding geometric progressions) including 0's and/or 1's (producing those here that would appear to be depth 0 or 1 forms, they're 'degenerate' depth 2 forms)" Dave Bollinger

Ross Sawyers
"I am greatly influenced by the increasing density of the new neighborhoods and housing developments that make up my surroundings. The combination of living in increasingly smaller spaces and in closer proximity to others creates tension that I am interested in exploring through exaggerating the architecture common to the buildings and structures that make up these residential environments.
The environments depicted in my photographs are close to the actual but are not completely accurate or exact copies of reality. The discrepancies between reality and construct vary from subtle shifts in architecture to obvious voids that serve no apparentfunction. I construct the situations I photograph as a way to challenge my understandingof the buildings and neighborhoods I am referencing and I am interested in callingattention to the function of the constructed model in relation to what the depicted subject matter is proposing."

"De tekeningen van Ante Timmermans zijn een kritische, maar ook poëtische reactie of reflectie op zijn omgeving. Daarbij is hij vooral gefascineerd door de routine, de (verborgen) systemen, de banaliteit en het absurde van de maatschappij."

Amy Bennett
De werken van Amy Bennett (°1977, werkt in Brooklyn, NY) zijn geschilderde scenarios die zich afspelen in een denkbeeldige Amerikaanse buitenwijk. Als basis voor de schilderijen gebruikt Bennett een maquette van de wijk (schaal 1:87) met in totaal 11 huizen.
Meer info op www.amybennett.com"The model becomes a stage on which to develop the psychological implications of belonging to a particular family, with all of its dramas, struggles and familiar routines. I think: this tree will be taken down after an old man crashes into it; a father will transform this lawn into an ice skating rink; this house will be abandoned after its residents are scandalized on the evening news." Amy Bennett

Voronoi
Meer info op www.materialsystems.org"Voronoi Morphologies is the latest development in an ongoing area of research into cellular aggregate structures. The voronoi algorithm is used in a wide range of fields including satellite navigation, animal habitat mapping, and urban planning as it can easily adapt to local contingent conditions. Within the research of Materialsystems.org, it is used as a tool to facilitate the translation and materialization of data from particle-simulations and other point-based data into volumetric form. Through this process, it becomes much easier to produce highly differentiated structures that are responsive to local performance criteria."
