PLASTIC


PLASTIC is an architecture, research, and academic practice by Cat Wilmes.

Nominally drawing from the plastic arts, its name reflects an understanding of architecture as a discipline engaged in the shaping of material, spatial, and visual form.

The anti-perspective model is a three-dimensional study of perspectival dislocation. It is an experiment gathering several techniques of perceptual distortion such as reverse, flat, and fishbone perspectives. It uses Marcel Breuer’s Pirelli Tire Building as its source material. The model investigates continuity and discontinuity in three-dimensional reading using a set of projection and mapping methods. It questions our habitual understanding of reciprocity between images and space and argues that a new understanding of space can be generated from images and different perspectival techniques.
