Oscar Tuazon
 ”The premise of his most recent works seems to be that architecture is a form of appropriation which reflects a particular way of life. According to Tuazon, then, buildings do not primarily represent a form of design, a thought-out concept. Rather, he conceives of them as manifestations of a way of life that has formed its surroundings. It appears that Tuazon is inspired by the contradictions which originate in different uses of space, by strategies of coping with limited means or remote places, by parasitic tactics with regard to different economic systems. ” Tagged: art  contemporary  sculpture  Oscar Tuazon  concrete  timber  structure  installation  architecture   Notes: 9

Nest Factory
“This drab, windowless concrete facade does not conceal an electricity  substation, data servers, or a high security detention center,” Nicola  Twilley writes over at GOOD.  It is, instead, a living birds’ nest factory, an emerging building type  that has “spread across Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, and even Cambodia,  towering above traditional one-story structures and transforming the  urban landscape.” Their purpose? To foster the production of swiftlet  nests, used in Chinese bird’s nest soup.Nicola  explains that these nest farms are, in effect, surrogate geological  formations: “the buildings are intended to mimic caves,” she writes,  where the swiftlets would normally live, “with a carefully spaced matrix  of wooden rafters replacing the ledges and crannies of a cave ceiling,  and detailed attention paid to internal temperature, humidity, and even  sound.”They are, in effect, part of what could be called a saliva industry, as the nests are made from swiftlet saliva. A spitshop, say, instead of a sweatshop. Mechanize this one step further, and full-scale 3D saliva-printing might not be far off… Tagged: nest factory  concrete  building  architecture  box   Notes: 7
