| The Third Skin in
the Third District
|
 his is about the third skin, the outer skin of
KunstHausWien.
Man is surrounded by three layers, Clothing and the walls of buildings have in recent times undergone a development which is no longer in keeping with the individual's natural requirements. Windows are the bridge between inside and outside. The third skin is interspersed with windows as the first one is with pores. The windows are an equivalent of the eyes. The facade is not perfectly straight and flat, but humpy and interrupted by irregular mosaics. A black-and-white, irregular checkerboard pattern signals the disbanding of the grid system, its breakup. What we urgently need is barriers of beauty; these beauty impediments consist of unregulated irregularities.

his skin, his clothing and walls,
the building.
Paradises can only be made with our own hands, with our own
creativity in harmony with the free creativity of nature. |
