🎨 Town XIX (Cells) & Town XX - original paintings (early works)

avatar

Some time ago I posted my architectural
pieces Promenade and Dominium which
were both based on the same 3D geometry.
These two following small formats also
originated from the same 3D concept.

Town XIX (Cells), 1994

Acrylic/oil on fiberboard
30 x 40 cm / 11.81 x 15.75 in


Town XX, 1994

Acrylic on fiberboard
40 x 30 cm / 15.75 x 11.81 in


Here is again the old fly-through animation from the Town:

I like the animation because it's like an artificially intelligent architect kept building long after all the people were gone and gradually forgot what people needed to live in their apartments.

That's a really cool way to look at it XD

Although I think it remembers what kind of stuff is needed, just not how to put it together in a way that would make sense to a human :D

This has a bit of an Escher feel to it.
When they built our new Fine Art Building at the University of Lethbridge (1980 - the building is on the side of a hill), the original plan had rooftop parking. But during construction it was decided for budget reasons (expensive reinforcements) to abandon that concept. What was left, and forgotten to be changed in the plans, were staircases that were supposed to go up to the roof. They led to nowhere, ended up at the ceiling of the stairwell. This became a hiding place for the dope heads.
