INTRO
INHOMOGENOUS is dedicated to the process of architectural creation. The Karlsruhe castle's ornate baroque facade is deconstructed into its basic graphical elements. Dots, lines and faces provide the structure for a journey through alternative architectural formations and a playful exploration of styles and design principles.
Starting from a highly abstract dot matrix, the facade passes through different stages of design: dots become lines, lines assemble to grids, surfaces and volumes, and finally to new possible and impossible architectural bodies.
Key challenges
Reducing baroque ornament to dots
Every stage anchored to the real building
Pacing change along a long front
The scale of the palace set the rhythm. Every movement in the projection relates to the real building, and the long distances across its facade served as a timekeeper for staging each new architectural state.
INHOMOGENOUS was produced by URBANSCREEN and commissioned by the zkm for the Schlosslichtspiele Karlsruhe 2017.
