The Social Contract Painting @ Cabarete Voltere 

The Social Contract demonstrate's my continuing examination of the movement of the city as manifes in its inhibitants. The physical act of a shock wave throughout an urban sprawl is absorbed literally and figuratively in the movement-filled, dark, action colourd portrait.

The modern view on architecture 

The crisis of modern architecture is part of a much larger crisis involving the whole question of the way we live and how we use the resources of our planet. Poor design, monotony, and inhuman scale are the results not of lack of talent nor the failures of the Modern Movement, but of a surrender to selfish interests and short-sighted economies.

The role of the modern Architect

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think you could characterize my approach as deeply respectful of history and also in part inspired by it.

Junctions between old and new must be articulated. The concept for Tower 2 of the World Trade Center is equally driven by this balance between memory and rebirth.

The building occupies a pivotal position at northeast corner of Memorial Park, and its profile reflects this role as a symbolic marker. The tower also has a function, as part of the renewal of the World Trade Center, in regenerating this part of downtown Manhattan. Its street level retail and connections to the WTC transit hub will help to reinvigorate the area with a vitality that is typical of a Manhattan neighborhood.

Architecture is a connection with the past. However, our concern is not for relics but for the revitalization of historic buildings, repurposing them for a new generation. Architecture can communicate memory, but it can also communicate values and a sense of place. The airport in Beijing, for example, is designed as a symbolic gateway to China – its form and use of color in the columns and roof, which flow from imperial red to golden yellow, deliberately evoke traditional Chinese symbols even though the design is state-of-the-art.
