explorations in memory and the uncannyLos Angeles, California
UCLA Summer Studio, 2018
Questioning boundary. With Rudolph
Schindler’s Kings Road House as muse, the passage of time is explored through
the fragmentation of the space’s past, present and future uses. Greater than
the sum of its’ parts, the house balances preservation of the space as
historical landmark with public use, and courts an amalgamation of future
opportunities.
The future possibilities of the house are presented as the
uncanny version of the space - recognizable, yet different. The realities are
coupled through a porous threshold - the space where past, present and future
are blurred.
