Description
How does one envision architecture? Forays
gathers the work of Joe Day and Deegan-Day Design into six diptychs,
unified by this question. Working in a wide range of media and scales,
Day's work mines the differentials between perspective and projection.
Forays
is organised in six diptychs, the first two paired projects are books
in their own right; the second pair, a clothing line and a first
building; the third, two houses; the fourth, two plays on brand identity
and design methodology; the fifth, permanent and transient cinema
proposals; and the sixth, two series of speculative work in local and
global registers. Modelled on a comparison of two classic cameras - the
Leica M3 and Polaroid SX-70 - each diptych includes a project with more
'Leica' to it - a more bounded, Cartesian clarity or distilled focus -
and another closer to an SX-70 in its moving or folding parts, its
shape-shifting adaptability.
