Less Adjectives More Verbs In other words, less talking more doing. A blog about architecture, studying it, things related to it, things related to studying it, and other things. Elsewhere, working on the Less Adjectives More Verbs Archive Project, an unfiltered collection of every post I've ever liked. It's like this, only with more LOLZ.

A Sac of Rooms All Day Long by Alex Schweder La

This work is something too big inside something too small. The architectural features of this iteration are “drawn” into the seams through the use of black vinyl strips of varying widths. The widths correlate to the line weight that would be used in an architectural drawing. Thinner lines indicate less prominent features like moulding, while thick lines indicate the outer limits of the rooms. The inflation and deflation causes this work to continually fluctuate between something recognizable and a jumble of lines.

Art Destroying Architecture: Chris Burden’s 1985 Samson
“…a 100-ton jack connected to a gear box and a turnstile. The 100-ton jack pushes two large timbers against the bearing walls of the museum. Each visitor to the museum must pass through the turnstile in order to see the exhibition. Each input on the turnstile ever so slightly expands the jack, and ultimately if enough people visit the exhibition, SAMSON could theoretically destroy the building. Like a glacier its powerful movement is imperceptible to the naked eye.”

‘Bâtiment‘  (Building) was a mirrored installation in Paris (2004) by artist Leandro Erlich.  A life size building facade is constructed on the floor near a towering mirror giving anyone reflected, the appearance of being weightless.
