A Formal Tension
A Formal Tension _ Silvio Carta
In architecture of recent decades, architects have continued to elaborate the formal vocabulary of the Modern movement, in which regularity, purity and simplicity of shape are among the main rules. On the other hand, and especially with the advent of digital design, architects have begun to experiment with new geometries and construction techniques, by which fluidity, irregularity and non-standard shapes have become part of our current cityscape. What happens when these two formal approaches coexist in the same building? Is a marriage between free and regular shapes possible? Or does it instead inevitability create clash, generating areas of tension? This chapter presents two projects — the Emerson College Los Angeles Center by Morphosis Architects and the House of Music in Aalborg by Coop Himmelb(l)au — that may offer interesting insight into this discussion via a focus on areas of interaction between free and regular shapes.
