| On
theme of wheat
circles of England and restaurant/banquet facilities found in the
middle
of corn field in the Veneto, Italy,and an artist's studio for Delta
Marsh,
Manitoba designed in 1968, a house for a corn farmer out standing in
his
field revisits some concepts that germinated in early student
days.
Perpendicularly
placed, doubled-up corn-crib type structures as found in the Essex
county
area of Ontario, form major compositional massing and material
aesthetic,
rural minimalism. The hypotenuse is employed as the single tectonic
compositional
device. Containing within the corn-cribs,tangence unfolds
spatial/temporal
movements as it involutes and evolutes hypotenuses about hyperbolic
boundaries
in "cumparsita-like" (tango-like) gestures. Resulting intersticial
spaces
become form placeholders displaying the symbols of residential life.
Perceived
space pulsates from quadrilaterally to triangularly profiled volumes.
"Anticamente
era
l'idea
Di
un teatro
mezzo il grano
Come
una
bevanda sotto il sole... "
Paolo Conte
