| Werner Feiersinger - Skulptur auf der Venetalm Within his work Werner Feiersinger seems to question the presence of the body in Architecture and the role of architecture to provide for the body. These structures enclose space and seem to be either designed to keep something in or stop someone for getting in. But what or who? Should they be thought of as architectural constructions or sculptures? I have only ever seen images of the work so I don't know how they feel in reality. How large are the gaps? Do you feel able to walk into them? Are they forbidding or inviting? The work seems to call for engagement but also questions the role that the viewer plays out through their interaction. |

This is a pavilion by Carmony Groake for Regents Place, London. It seeks to actively engage the passerby, offering routes through and seating areas within. It seems to be less cerebral than the Feiersinger works asking the viewer to experience the feeling of moving through a space where your peripheral vision is constantly stimulated. It is lit from within during the night, making it seem very much permeable and inhabitable. During the day the polished steel tubes reflect light making the structure feel much more solid and inpenetrable. How does architecture claim space? How does it feel to move through it or past it? At what point does something stop being a wall and begin to invite you in?
