Is an architect also an artist, and vice versa? Technically, they are different. But intellectually, their thought-processes are layered into abstraction, vivified, trite at times, sashaying into the untouched, unexplored realms of creativity. And the inspiration can come from anywhere! Ar. Gurjit Singh of Matharoo Associates (our trending story) has brilliantly translated allegoric horizontal book stacks on extendable book ends – the kind that come with a firm slider at the base – into playful architectural vocabulary, artistically drawing out the interiors amidst the slanting walls. On another note, India’s renowned artist, Sudarshan Shetty uses life-size architecture to illustrate his point of view that life is unpredictable and needs to be lived in the moment, to the full.
Going beyond these cross-references, architects Schmidt Hammer Lassen collaborate with American artist of renown, James Turrell to design the expansion of ARoS museum in Denmark. The boundaries between art installations and architecture blur here as they propose to introduce a new civic experience via their plan. Do check out the story.
And there’s a lot more! Products, home interiors, fusion café interiors…
Warmly,
