HAUS TUGENDHAT (2013)

This photograph is from a set by architect John Pawson, which he pairs with the Ludwig Hilberseimer quote:  “No photograph of this house can convey the right impression”. One has to move around in this house, its rhythm is like music’.

That’s also petty much the impetus behind this blog.  Successful buildings aren’t designed to be experienced as static images. Of course, they aren’t designed to explored on video, either, but at least there we can begin to get a sense of the way they exist as ever-changing three dimensional objects/spaces,  in constant interplay with their users and environments.  This particular film looks at the scars left on Mies Van Der Rohe’s iconic building by social, political, and environmental forces, and at the process of restoring it.

They say even longing has its limits: in a bucket, an eel // will simply stop swimming long before it starves.
