“Architecture must be cavernous, fiery, smooth, hard, angular, brutal, round, delicate, colourful, obscene, sexy, dreamy, intimate, remote, wet, dry and heart-beating, living or dead. If it is cold, then as cold as ice. If it is hot, then as hot as a tongue of fire. Architecture must burn.”
Coop Himmelblau’s de-con mantra of 1980, exemplified by the Blazing Wing project at TU Graz in the same year above. The 50’ tall gas fueled tower was surrounded with speakers amplifying the crackling sound of the flames; at points the heat was so great it shattered the surrounding windows. Image via.
