The Felt Objects Pamphlet: An Architectural Love Story

Two characters, Vernacular (V) and Modern (M) constructions, live in a fantastical universe in harmony. They find proximity next to each other, and a relationship occurs between them. Their physical (architectural components, or elements) and mental (genius loci, or spirit of the place) capacities intertwine. At a certain point, a will to power emerges and stirs the calmness that previously existed: M starts to over-embrace V and the latter suffocates. V starts, then, to look for a way out of the relationship. After several trials, a “heterotopic escape” succeeds. The relationship is broken, and V searches for a new adventure elsewhere, looking for beauty. Once the new journey ends, V comes back to M, with a new and twisted approach towards their relationship.
