Lebbeus Woods released a new article on his blog entitled “Building Landscapes” featuring works of Thom Mayne, Peter Eisenman, Robert Smithson and some of his beautiful drawings for the Korean DMZ.
THE FUNAMBULIST
The Funambulist is a daily architectural platform edited by Léopold Lambert.Its name is inspired by a reflection on the line as the architect's medium. In fact, this line on the white page that ends up spliting two milieus from one another, controls the access of the bodies. The act of walking on the line (funambulist is another word for tight-rope walker) thus becomes an act of freedom. It also refers to Philippe Petit crossing illegally the space between the two towers of the World Trade Center in 1974 and the funambulist in Nietzsche's Zarathoustra who dies peacefully as he died from the danger he dedicated his life to.
The Funambulist is also accessible via Facebook and Twitter
