‘OLD HOUSE’
As part of his ongoing research into ‘expanded drawing’, associate professor at the Wellington School of Architecture Simon Twose collaborated with Anastasia Globa, Ella Jones and myself on an exhibition running at Te Auaha Gallery in Wellington from 07-27 July.
OVERVIEW
2023
EXCERPT WRITTEN BY DR. SIMON TWOSE:
Old House sketches a tiny, run-down family house, sitting at the edge of the sea in Kaikōura, Aotearoa, through ‘expanded’ architecture drawings.
The little house seems to be in conversation with its vast context. It has complex miniature microclimates: tiny variations in surface, dust, light, air, sound - birds nesting in the roof – as well as memory, lost gardens, clumsy attempts at repair. Outside are enormous weather systems, immense sea, dynamic rock.
