FOUND FOUND OBJECT FOUND FOUND ARCHITECTURE This studio for an artist residency in upstate New York relies on methodologies for assembling found objects Cheap plastic toys food fashion Legos or toy models are cut glued and repurposed into architectural assemblages assemblages Student projects examine these assemblages assemblages through analog and digital drawing in in the production of plans sections and elevations At the the center of the the project is an an interrogation that asks: How is is is art art is is is made and by whom? What precisely does art art require for its production and how can architecture operate as a a a a a a a system to interact with art art and the artist in residence? Each project will develop a a a a a a critical
attitude to the the presence of architecture in in residency should the the building disappear like a a a a a a a neutral gallery box should the building be unavoidable? What types of interactions should take place between artists in in residence and visitors to to the the the site? Does the the the artist live alone or or with others? The terms established by each student translate into imagined narratives aided by research at Art OMI in in Ghent New York Final projects take a a a a a a critical
stance on on the the production of architecture in both the the academic studio and and the world through a a a a a a a a a combination of analog assembly and and advanced digital techniques 171
