928 School of Architecture Acrylic Will Alsop RA
Tis large abstract acrylic painting, entitled School of Architecture, is Alsop’s way of designing – helping him to discover and explore the ideas that become forms. A Royal Academician since 2000, Alsop employs an approach to design that is considered by many to be closer to the practice of fineart than architectural orthodoxy.

967 Book: Solar Topography, Te Farnese Gardens, Rome Brass and paper Ben Cowd, Tomas Hopkins, Sara Shafiel
Solar Topography is a design for a staircase in Rome that links the 16th-century Farnese Gardens to the Palatine ruins. Te geometry of the stair was formed by tracing a single shadow every 10 minutes, every day for the period of one year. Te contoured surfaces can be read as astronomical clocks and calendars – steps represent days and months, stones represent minutes, and lines are attributed to seconds. Te final model shows the topography in the context of the ruins and of Rome.
