Description

João Gonçalo Lopes is an architect who works in an interdisciplinary way between art, design and education. His practice examines spaces and objects as mediators of multi-layered relationships, be they social, political, emotional, artistic or material.

Gonçalo will be working on site from 1 – 14 October.

“The term ‘landscape’ has always contained a complex mixture of meanings. In a sense, it could be defined as something we can never fully grasp, something that is beyond our human scale in both temporal and spatial terms, a mixture of longing and fascination with fear and destruction that takes us to the unknown planes of existence.

I want to look at Lake Traunsee by imagining the ancient ways in which humans have related to natural landscapes, where architecture, objects and garments are means of survival, of measuring and understanding what is beyond our limits. Objects as extensions of our bodies and senses that invite us to go beyond the surface of the images and go a little further.
