                                   PLASTIC PRACTICE


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.

Collaboration w/ Can Imamoğlu & Alican Taylan



This project is a homage to one of the most revolutionary architectural thinkers of the 20th century- Paul Virilio, who died in 2018. For us, the writings he produced are complex, idiosyncratic, and crucial to understanding contemporary society. Virilio’s lifelong work theorized technology in relation to speed and its consequential correspondence to architecture. We are invested in his ideas related to the radical architecture of the oblique and his studies of WWII bunkers.
