CHC - Martin Boyce (Continued)

6/10/14 - Part 1

To start the Contemporary and Historical Contexts module, I discussed and collaborated with a fellow student who also looked into the work of Martin Boyce. We shared points on what we both liked, what could be referenced from the chosen work and what keywords stood out.

Liked: The process/journey of going from the patterns of the concrete trees to a whole language in tessellation form, all within a minimalist style.

Reference: The topic of deforestation comes to mind when people view "Out of This Sun" in a possible future where actual trees become extinct. The cold concrete tree displayed as a memorial for trees.

Keywords: Deforestation, tessellation, minimalism, architecture.
