the wall
20 May
The wall must be the most banal element in architecture: a line on a plan. Architects draw them all the time. Making every wall demands deliberation and intelligence. If you have to make a wall, make it perfect. IT’S THE WALL BUILDER’S RESPONSIBILITY.
After thesis, I know I will never draw a line on a plan the way I did before.
