NO COVER REQUIRED - THE ARCHITECTURE OF TERRA OBSCURA
What is the role of form, the algorithm, and craft in contemporary architectural practice? The experience of the train car is never really about the departure or destination but rather the grey area in between the two. The idea of site and program is a temporal one. The train car itself serves only as a gestural reminder of the culture that surrounds the passing train. The kimono is the cultural inspiration for the formal expression of the car. With the gradient of colors that create the traditional garments. These conditions of cultural, environmental and geographic characteristics are the lines that become integral in the design.
