Models come out of Models. An investigation into the model of Suprematism, by analysing the 'Architecton Alpha' by Kasimir Malevich,
2015
Abschlussjahr: 2015
The thesis investigates the elusive architectural model of Suprematism, by analysing the 'Architecton Alpha' by Kasimir Malevich. A solid plaster sculpture of a supposedly levitating building, but weighing 23 kg. I approached this topic by developing the theoretical research in tandem with building and re-building models of the architecton. Searching for ways on how the act of making can influence theory.
This methodology of repetition in the spirit of Gilles Deleuze creates a situation, where no observation can be made twice, where every step informs the next. Thus creating a series of models, that informs a contemporary statement on Suprematism and the role of the architecture model as such.
This methodology created an understanding of the black square – the nucleus of Malevich’s art – as the original protopixel, as 1 and 0. Thereby leading – on a sometimes meandering path – towards a gradual dematerialization of the original plaster model, finally arriving at Augmented Reality Architecture, for which I created a custom iOS App. Opening up the possibility of freeing conceptual architecture models from hard drives and paper, placing them in the world around us, to be experienced by everyone.
