Nocturne Elemental considers an architecture in search of identity, made up of lightning quick and extreme trajectories. This approach, predicated by designs that emerge from abstraction and the relationship between the cinematic (Nocturne) and quality of lightness/ body (Elemental).
We are interested in both analog and digital design and fabrication methods – particularly the areas in which they overlap, and inform each other. By working between these two polarities we have found that there is a rich field of overlap in which the digital pushes the physical into new typologies and vice versa. With Nocturne Elemental we want to inhabit only this realm – and make it visible for a broader audience to explore along with us.
Nocturne Elemental is a conversation about bodies at night, and the degree of figural-laden luminosity that may provoke “ambiguities” set between the sky (stars) and horizon (earth).
