Abstracting Architecture: Techniques of Sculptural Construction

Sarah Tortora

Tuition $1,150
Code S1010-23

This small-scale sculpture course explores the intersections between architecture and sculpture. We reconsider and recreate the properties, sensations, and language surrounding familiar sites, major architectural works, and historical structures at tabletop scale using economical construction methods with basic wood, steel, foam, epoxy, and mixed-media assembly. We consider armatures and framing, achieving structural stability, modular units, color, light, and context. Tools and materials are stretched to their limits to achieve what may seem physically impossible, and methods taught in the course remain achievable long after its conclusion.
