The Mouth of Krishna - #928 2024, Pigments gampi paper and gold leaf

Because of this invitation to explore space, materiality, and site, the artist has been long-recognized in the architectural community, earning him the Architectural League of New York President’s Medal in 2014, becoming the first artist to receive the honor.

When architecture allows itself to breathe, it transforms into an experience. It’s incredible how the suitable material can dictate the mood of a space. Here, the raw concrete feels tactile, almost like it tells its own story, with each imperfection catching the light. The way daylight pours in elevates the space, highlighting every contrast and bringing warmth to the cool tones. The merging of hard surfaces with the softness of nature in this space speaks volumes about coexistence. The daylight streaming enhances the textures, adding layers to the materiality that shift as the sun moves. This interaction elevates the functionality, allowing the space to adapt and evolve with the light. How do you feel about the rawness of a space?
