Strange Objects, New Solids and Massive Things, Archi-Tectonics

The object as solid, having three dimensions, is not just a different formal trend, but a paradigm shift; a re-conceiving of how the architectural object is produced and experienced, changing the very concept of objectivity and meaning of architecture. Strange Objects, New Solids and Massive Things celebrates the potential of the strange object, which finds its origin in the proto-space―the moment between the becoming of the idea and the ultimate shape it takes; the state of the still obscure and ‘uninhibited’ object outside the established framework of signification. As seen through an examination of 10 projects by Archi-Tectonics, this strange object is proof of the very capacity of the object to generate new habits and meanings.
