Optional Intent

Corseaux, Switzerland
2016


One of the most common methods of architectural thinking is through the process of options. Is this process  proof of rigor or a responsible method of avoiding decision making?

We looked at one of the most powerful acts of architecture in history and imagined a fictional exchange between Le Corbusier and his studio partner pitching their idea to their client: Le Corbusier’s mother. The result is a series of letters and an object capturing the intent without the distraction of architecture.

The object along with the letters were displayed part of the Architecture exhibit at the A+D Museum in Los Angeles.
