Description
Dominique Perrault describes a meta-building as "a structure that exceeds the customary dimensions of a building to encompass a landscape or a city, both physically and conceptually...a meta-building is to a conventional building rather what an art installation is to a painting...and a meta-building transforms a place, without causing the original to disappear." Thus commences his conversation with Andreas Ruby that introduces this engaging survey of four works in progress that seek to exemplify the concept. Illustrated with photos, plans and CGIs (the latter populated with ghostly black and white figures), these brave new constructions merit your attention, especially the polygonal black and gold leisure hive that is the Marinsky II Theatre in St. Petersburg. Bilingual in English and German.
