The series Non-Structures presents London –and cities in general– as a spectacle of constant conflict, negotiation and flux. Capturing key moments in the life of diverse buildings, the images reveal a condition of transience, trapped as these buildings and sites are between the boundaries of architecture and ruin, planning and chance, process and product. The term Non-Structures alludes to anthropologist Marc Augé’s influential work Non-Places; this boundary condition, defined by an absence of identity, has lent its name to the series.

“The development of this book was motivated, among other factors, by the following: initially, by my own twelve-year tenure at the SCEE (School Building Construction Society), during which I had the opportunity to meet José Aracena, who passed away in 1971; subsequently, by a desire to explore the life of Gustavo Mönckeberg, father of fellow architect Hernán Mönckeberg Barros, who served as president of the SCEE from 1969 to 1970 and kindly provided me with the remnants of his father’s archive; and finally, by the goal of documenting their complete and valuable body of work—spanning residential, civil, educational, religious, and funerary architecture—while tracing the natural evolution of the masters who preceded them in the city's development.” - Alfredo Jünemann Gazmuri, 2021.

Upholstery is at the heart of every living space, providing comfort both physically and visually. It’s the basis for an interior to grow and evolve, setting the tone for a wider 360-degree landscape. To create a truly dynamic foundation, it usually takes a few different sofas or armchairs, but pairing them up to create the desired harmony between color, texture, form and function can be a challenge without experiencing them side by side in space.

Imprint of the future. Architectural fantasy on the theme of “Veduta del Tempio di Ercole nella Città di Cora”, an etching by Piranesi
The year 2023 marks the celebration of the 850th anniversary of the start of construction on the Tower of Pisa. To mark the occasion, the Museo della Grafica Palazzo Lanfranchi is holding an exhibition of drawings by the architect Sergei Tchoban. In his work as an architect and in his drawings, he has constantly treated the tower as a type of building. There have never been so many towers as there are today. Never have they been so ubiquitous. Tower building has become a challenge for architects all over the world. Even those who do not find the task particularly appealing must come to terms with tower construction. For it is precisely in the architecture of towers that the latest techniques and materials are tested in order to reach and exceed aesthetic as well as physical limits. Sergei Tchoban is very familiar with the history of architecture from his studies at the Petersburg Academy. This history is reflected both in his own design work and in his drawings. The Museo della Grafica Palazzo Lanfranchi in Pisa has taken the 850th anniversary of the Tower of Pisa as the occasion for this exhibition, bringing together around 90 drawings that Tchoban has made on his numerous journeys, especially in Italy, and which in many cases combine the reproduction of what he saw with his own reflections on architecture. In six chapters, the exhibition presents through the architect’s drawings views of individual towers, reflections on the history of tower architecture and on the political role of towers and the threats they pose. Tchoban’s interest in the multifaceted phenomenon of tower construction is evident in the abundance of drawings in which the architect depicts these buildings, imagined as well as real towers or a combination of both. Drawing, with its capacity to make the imagined as vivid as the real, proves to be the apt medium for Tchoban to express his thoughts on tower architecture.
