Overview
A fifty-year history of the evolving design, construction and reconstruction of a house, landscape and waterworks with reference to its engagement with parallel architecture and landscape theories.
Transformations describes the fifty-year history of spatial, material and ecological experimentation taking place on a large landscape in Piedmont Virginia. The authors, teachers in architecture and landscape architecture, connect their academic teaching in design, theory and computation to the evolving project. This includes a house, studio, productive gardens, water works and large-scale landform strategies that have in turn informed the larger theoretical discourse in architecture and landscape architecture. Diagrams, sketches, physical and computational models reveal how changes in representation, attitudes towards nature, spatial and material organization have influenced and even altered intentions over this long period of time.
Organized as loosely linked narratives on cartography, the spatial experiments of the early 20th century cubist painters, the aesthetics of the machine, abstract spatial diagrams, reflections on visits to historic building, cities and landscapes, rethinking the American domestic landscape, etc., the authors reveal how these approaches interact with and direct 50 years of design and material strategies. Prakash Patel photographed the current state of the project over a two-year period.
