How can the constructed – something that is apparently rigid – allow for practices that are multiple, contemporary, and open to updating? To answer this one has to overcome the opposition between pure appearance and the need to serve architecture. One has to reach beyond the usual symmetries: planned/neglected; interior/exterior; open/closed; place/relationship; public/private. One has to question degrees of determination and consider constructions in their different temporalities. By presenting two projects on different scales, Finn Geipel outlines the idea of structuration by graded definitions.
Geipel co-founded LABFAC (Laboratory for Architecture) with Nicholas Michelin in 1987. He has lectured and exhibited around the world.
