Sumit Singhal loves modern architecture. He comes from a family of builders who have built more than 20 projects in the last ten years near Delhi in India. He has recently started writing about the architectural projects that catch his imagination. “Kyoku” – Bridge House in Japan by ArchiBlur LabJuly 6th, 2016 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: ArchiBlur Lab Weight can be felt, but does feeling have weight? The strength of thought in tugging out the tension at the threshold between matter and imagination, for creators, is to return to the nature of architecture and practice its uniquely creative energy. This creator begins by developing three concepts relating to weight to describe and develop the materiality and spatial characteristics they present. These three starting points act between nature and artificiality, and provide feeling with different layers of weight sense.  Image Courtesy © ArchiBlur Lab

On one hand, it changes the weight of the space into which it is placed, symbiotically creating an elastic state. On the other hand, it responds to each body entering the state of the artwork.

The invisible and thick-bottomed continuity, the changing water level and margins of elevation are extremely far but also extremely close, possessing conversions of different scales and environmental views on the outside and on the inside.

Lightly touch the earth, as weight is presented as light swaying, with immediate and hand-related considerations of space.

We attempts to create not only an object, but a landscape inviting people to physically experience the place. Three different levels of landscape are formed through on-site observations and practices to discuss about the opening of border and enlightenment topics about [publicness]. This work not only opens hardware border, but also opens perception border. Physical construction forms a field of interactions and exchanges to enable every audience participating in construction to create value of [publicness] of joint operation. The first level of the three levels of landscape enable audiences to enter formed space to perceive the change of time, moving people in the environment, and plants bearing time and natural power. The construction of space becomes a landscape, and forms the facial expression of [landscape]. The second level is the display of power of construction, and uses the point-by-point control of horizontal force to enable every circular space element to create moving tension of materials. In addition to forming the structural relationship of large space and every curved pattern, the second level also enable power from different dimensions to stack on it to create an extensive relationship of movement. The transfer of power enables physical sensations to connect with a place far away, other people, and surrounding environment, as well as enables power in the environment, such as wind and light to form the facial expression of light through construction. The third level is the bridge body at two ends of the edge that is seemingly hung from ground to create a new horizon and form important structural bridge body at two sides, which supports every circular flexible element and also forms cohesive landscapes and marginal landscapes at different heights. The transfer of power constructs a light and floating field to bring audiences to new relationship formed by different heights and environment.

Chen’s work has allowed him to be a nomad and vacillating practitioner, and therefore margins are not limits but rather the manifestations of thought. Objects can always open up to heterogeneous opposites. Chen takes the point of greatest tension from between these opposites—such as art and architecture, architectural objects and architectural installation, or body and sensation—to carefully and concretely undertake his art practice.
