New work coming soon:
“Well building hath three conditions: firmness, commodity, and delight.” (1)
De Architectura responds to the Vitruvian principles of architecture first laid out in the publication of the same name written by Marcus Vitruvius, a Greek Architect, and engineer in the 1st century BC. These principles state that a building should exhibit the qualities of strength, functionality, and beauty.
Working from my own archive of domestic architecture images (2016-18, medium format film), this series presents arranged compositions that investigate these fundamental principles through the lens of current Australian domestic architecture.
Each work in this series questions one of these individual functions independently of the others, for example: ‘Utilitas? 1’ presents a peculiar composition named with regard to its sizeable mass, yet nothing we can see suggests it would be anything less then a strong and indeed functional piece of architecture if it was to exist.
Are these 2000-year-old architectural principles still valid in suburban Australia? And if so do they constrain us or do they free us from conventional architectural practices?
