In everyday landscapes, wire frequently indicates that a space is forbidden. Based on imagery of barbed wire, fencing and mesh, it is a material that can effectively divide and prohibit. In this collection, the nature of the material is toyed with, as the architects attempt to subvert such conceptualizations. Edoardo Tresoldi resurrects a destroyed basilica from thousands of meters of wire, reconstructing a ghostly hologram of the past. Metamorfose exhibits a bright green structure, which sparks commentary and dialogue on the surrounding environment\u2019s decay, destitution and desertion. In these projects, wire is displayed on the forefront.<\/p>\n

Based on such associations, wire is not always thought of as inviting. However, many of the projects that follow cascade and undulate, often creating lattice-like structures that welcome rather than reject visitors. Additionally, based on the material\u2019s flexibility, several of these projects are both malleable and temporary, resulting in spaces that are particularly thrilling to immerse oneself in. Because they are open and porous, they also bring about light, reflection and shaded areas, which make them suitable for all sorts of human interaction \u2014 day and night.<\/p>\n

Single Thread | Sukkah City<\/b><\/a> by Matter Architecture Practice<\/a>, New York, United States<\/p>\n

Sukkah city was constructed from a single spool of wire, which the architects thread around a temporary frame of bamboo scaffolding. Once the wire was fully unraveled, the scaffolding was removed. What remained was a perplexingly simple enclosure, created from just one material: a single thread of wire.<\/p>\n

Basilica di Siponto<\/a><\/b>by Edoardo Tresoldi, Puglia, Italy<\/p>\n

For this project, the artist Edoardo Tresoldi resurrected a destroyed basilica at the Santa Maria Maggiore di Siponti church in Italy. With hundreds of meters of wire mesh, Tresoldi erected a ghostly installation that seems almost like a hologram of the past. The reconstruction even possesses original elements such as tiered columns and domes.<\/p>\n

Netscape<\/b><\/a> by Oyler Wu Collaborative<\/a>, Los Angeles, United States<\/p>\n

Netscape, a temporary pavilion for SCI-Arc\u2019s annual graduation ceremony, was created by faculty members and students at the school. The resulting canopy achieved a sail-like sweeping effect, and was designed to block the setting sun in the west, in order to facilitate the ceremony. The structure possesses an outstanding level of dynamism, twisting, bending and spanning through space.<\/p>\n

China Academy of Art\u2019s Folk Art Museum<\/b><\/a> by Kengo Kuma and Associates<\/a>, Hangzhou, China<\/p>\n

The Folk Art Museum sits on the campus of China Academy of Arts in Hangzhou. The museum was planned through geometrically divided units, which as a whole, evoke the sense of a village of roofs. The outer wall is fabricated out of a screen of tiles hung on stainless wire, which controls the volume of sunlight that enters the rooms within.<\/p>\n

Canopy<\/b><\/a> by Ove Arup & Partners<\/a>, Long Island City, United States<\/p>\n

Canopy, a temporary structure with a five-month stint at MoMA\/ P.S. 1, hosted and interacted with over 100,000 visitors. For this project, Ove Arup & Partners developed the idea of \u201cdeep landscape,\u201d which meant they intended to stitch together the limits of the existing site \u2014 ground, concrete and sky \u2014 with a single material. Canopy was bound together with 37,075 feet of stainless-steel wire, which was enclosed by flexible, freshly cut bamboo.<\/p>\n

Metamorfose<\/b><\/a> by FAHR 021.3<\/a>, Porto, Portugal<\/p>\n

Like Edoardo Tresoldi, FAHR 021.3 uses ruins as room for imagination. Metamorfose carves out an exciting and dignified space in an area where decay, destruction and destitution prevail. In construction, the team sought to use color, shape and gesture in order to break formalisms and rules. The result is an impactful and intimate dialogue about the state of the city \u2014 what it once was, what it is today and what is intended for the future.<\/p>\n

Live Wire<\/a><\/b>by Oyler Wu Collaborative<\/a>, Los Angeles, United States<\/p>\n

Live Wire is a staircase installation that sought to bridge multiple architectural ideas within a single architectural element. These ideas include the manipulation of light, geography, structure and vertical circulation. The result is a spinal-looking structure, which performs the gallery space that it inhabits.<\/p>\n
