Censored Extracts

Description

A Conceptual Art project celebrating the 100th year anniversary of the publication of ÒTowards a New ArchitectureÓ by the Swiss architect Le Corbusier. As a free-flowing artistic homage to Dadaist and Surrealist traditions, it follows the same morphological rules of the ÒCancellatureÓ of Emilio Isgr˜, the ÒGreguer’asÓ of Ramon Gomez de la Serna, and the censorship redactions produced by contemporary intelligence agencies. This publication identifies transformational intentions and imaginative variations to redact and transform, by means of deliberate erasures, the original version of Le CorbusierÕs book. The final result is a collection of unique messages for the advancement of todayÕs architecture and urbanism.
