anarchitecture-typo by tercerunquinto at shenzhen hong kong biennale 09I doubt the installation to be an ad for an-architecture.com – but who knows? But I have to admit that neither I have invented "anarchitecture"; it was chosen impulsively years ago at the blogger registration website. (originally, it was first introduced by Lebbeus Woods: Anarchitecture : Architecture Is a Political Act) Honestly, the combination of the words 'anarchic' and architecture' is quite obvious (see carchitecture, starchitecture,..). Anyway, I like the typo-wall and how it has been built: great brickwork! [via designboom, thanks to Sören]
Interesting. I'm curious about "architecture is a political act." Could you tell us a bit more about the thinking behind Anarchitecture's name?
ReplyDeleteHi. I just to tell that "Anarchitecture" was a term used by the artist Gordon Matta-Clark in the sixties-seventies
