About
And so much more. A cabinet of lost objects. objects that furnish a room. and hide absent ideas but cover what we all know. Empty detais of abstract rooms.
And never without. All those drawings. All kind of drawings. Just all together. Seemingly having nothing to do with each other but finally do. just ensemble.
Drawing is an action. Drawing is a relieve. Drawing is a moment. That last for ever. Even longer then its reality. Even without any ever reality.
—aDVVT, 2018
All objects shown in the gallery are related to everyday objects, from chimney to columns - constructive but also hiding technics. All objects are changing constantly the cubical form of the room. They are objects in space. Every Day Objects.
aDVVT practice focuses on the construction of a banal and everyday existence, in which it finds opportunities to greatly surpass what expected. They go back to the basics of the craft of architecture embracing “making” in its broadest sense. Only through an understanding of how to build something, the architect is able to build an everyday reality, safeguarding architecture from becoming a mere solution.
Their aesthetics makes no overarching claim other than to bring out the beauty and potential of what is found on site. The ordinary becomes the foundation, the cornerstone. Through their work, aDVVT demonstrates how a critical attitude is not just a gesture, but, rather, a perspective on architecture to go beyond all requirements.
