The Architecture of Scenes and Screens

The Architecture of Scenes and Screens proposes to understand images as material configurations. How are images constructed? How
have views historically and contemporarily been configured, assembled, and put together to produce what is perceived to be a seamless visual artifact? By constructed, we mean semiotically (in terms of meaning) but also tectonically (in terms of making), wherein the construction of visual scenes often require measuring, joinery, seaming, and assembly. As such, the studio insists that the production of views is no a-historical but in fact derives from a long history of architectural thinking around tools, technology, and techniques.
