Lebbeus Woods, Architect

摘要

Woods's works do not follow the rules of show and tell. He did not offer neat little models that make sense as much as any dollhouse does, or drawings that mirror the world we're accustomed to seeing. Though many of his ideas are rooted in real-world events-such as Germany's reunification, a war-torn Zagreb or the tectonic plates that shake our citites-those ideas necessarily manifest themselves as distortions, made to remind us that chaos is an accurate reflection of how we live. More accurate, perhaps, than the order most architects promise to make of our messes.
