Invisible Architecture at the FRAC Centre April 2005
Philippe Rahm and Jean-Gilles Décosterd, architects from Lausanne, have created a concept for invisible architecture. Their exhibition highlights architectural elements that are not normally visible, but nevertheless play an integral role in the work, like the control of fluids, light and air. All these elements modify the reality of our surroundings over and above the constructions themselves and in this way transform man's perception of temporality. Air as a physical medium. Space, improperly described as a vacuum, is recognized in its corporeality. The result is a reconquest of space as a quantity of air and air as matter, with its weight, density and physical and chemical characteristics, in which the human body is immersed.
