JPEG's Final Review: Fall 2004

Our studio instructor who seems to know everyone hinted that he is trying to get Liz Diller on our jury in 3 weeks. I just about crapped in my pants. Diller & Scofidio are clever, amazing, influential (hot) architects, perhaps most famous for the blur pavilion from a 2002 Swiss exposition, conceived as a building that isn't there.

They chose to build a minimal structure out on a nearby lake that utilizes grocery-store "produce misting" technology to dissolve the building behind a cloud of condensation. The prototype failed miserably and they were excoriated in the Swiss press, but they worked out the bugs and when the expo opened it was a huge hit.

Quadrant House is more Wallpaper-y.

I will be very happy if this occurs.
