Stubble
Step is an invited submission to Common Ground, the 13th International Architecture
Exhibition at the Venice Biennale curated by David Chipperfield. The project is
a reimagining of previous project situated in an abandoned house in Detroit,
Michigan. Countering the slow decay of Detroit’s built environment, Stubble
Step embraces thickness and abundance, imbuing life through the excessive
build-up of common materials. Hundreds of wood members stack and shift to
create a stepped landscape, affording opportunities to climb, sit, and
socialize. The exterior respects the rectangular volume of the original
bedroom, concealing the textural richness of the interior. Upon entry,
participants encounter the suggestive, stepped form and an array of saturated
surfaces. Various material treatments replace the charred, rustic textures of
the original home with rich, colorful casings that prod bodily engagement.
Conceived as a collection of moments, rather than a discernible whole, Stubble
Step elevates experience over objectification—projecting new patterns of
inhabitation and fresh forms of architectural sensation.
