Architectural Association Visiting School: Moulding Matters

Activity: Participating in or organising an event Organisation and participation in conference

Description

Guest tutor for AAVS Naples, which seeks to revisit and reinvent the ‘ornamental’ in architecture through the production of drawings and 1:1 plaster mouldings. From the grammatically-correct Classicism of a 19th century ceiling rose to the geometric abstractions of a Modernist fireplace, from fragments of Pompei’s remains to the grand excesses of a Baroque cornice, we will reconsider a breadth of historical precedents to generate our own formal grammar.
