A Kassen: Works in Architecture
The book Works in Architecture by artist group A Kassen explores the blending of art and architecture in what they term the expanded domain of architecture. It highlights the creative exchanges between these two fields, offering a deeper dialogue that challenges traditional ideas of architecture as merely functional and aesthetic. Through a series of projects, A Kassen introduces elements that disturb and distort reality, encouraging us to see and experience space in new ways.
Their approach redefines how we perceive architecture, pulling us out of everyday expectations and into a more playful, imaginative realm. Rather than just critiquing contemporary architectural systems or economic structures, their work focuses on exploring and expanding our lived experiences of space. A Kassen’s projects destabilize our assumptions about the built environment, adding sensory and conceptual qualities that go beyond what either architecture or art could achieve alone.
