lecture.There’s a need to concentrate the work, close it off from everything that lies around it so as to ensure more control of the work. This control instigated by certain rules is often illustrated in the work and acts as a limitation or a border, isolating the work. This can, for example, be a drawing placed in a book as a metaphorical reference to a closed room in which the border is suggested. The walls, either real or fictitious, surround the work, simultaneously protecting and stifling it. The viewer feels alienated to the architect’s world due to the strangeness applied to it. Objects are found, collected, combined, transformed and constructed into an art form by the architect. Of course, he is influenced by the world which surrounds him: his personal history, that of others, the things he learns, the mistakes he makes, the people he meets, all provide him with a frame of reference.
