"The idea is that half of it is above ground, and from this particular angle it looks like a normal house with a pitched roof. From the other side, however, you can see that in fact half of it is submerged - in section the building is hexagonal. The pathways in the forecourt are also hexagonal, in fact. The building is a single long slab, cast in reinforced concrete." /Ai Weiwei

Many Small Cubes by Sou Fujimoto 

 

Architect: Sou Fujimoto 
Location: Paris
Year: 2014
Photographs: Marc Domage

 

"The floating masses of Many Small Cubes create a new experience of space, a rhythm of flickering shadows and lights, as being under the trees."

"The architecture forms one unified element whose balance and stability are carefully designed: the position of each cube and each tree participates to the overall stability, yet reaching a random-like feeling, bringing the whole architecture closer to nature."

// Installation Art + Sculptures by Antony Gormley 

 

British artist Antony Gormley is widely acclaimed for his sculptures, installations and public artworks that investigate the relationship of the human body to space. His work has been widely exhibited throughout international exhibitions.

The objects hover between being architecture and being an image of architecture. Contained objects in a defined internal space.

In the Ropac Gallery installation, all the lights were removed and the frames were painted with two layers of phosphorescent paint that absorbed light during the day and emitted it at night. In the night-mode the work assumes an unstable position between the virtual and the real.
