Sergei Tchoban: Sections of the Mind

Comprising fantastic visions, idea competition submissions, personal manifestos, and depictions of buildings now under construction, all artworks presented in Sergei Tchoban: Sections of the Mind—an assembly of 30 freehand charcoal and ink drawings, watercolors, pastels, and prints—explore effective and imaginary use of the architectural section. Cutting through buildings, colonnades, domes, and whole chunks of cities, the architect not merely exposes his structures' spatial and material complexities but reveals hidden histories and meanings. In his drawings, Tchoban addresses clashes of extreme dualities head-on. He looks for the right balance between pragmatic and artistic, ordinary and spectacular, historical and contemporary, and offers his take on how to build more engagingly, responsibly, and ecologically.
