Lebbeus Woods (1940-2012) was one of the most pre-eminent visionary architects of the late 20th / early 21st centuries. A theorist, educator, poet, master draftsman, and architect, it is his extraordinary drawings that are fundamental to his sweeping and radical vision of what architecture could be. Central to that vision was an indomitable quest to discover how architecture could be instrumental to individuals, “teach us how to live,” impact communities, and create new types of inhabitable space within emerging urban constructs. Epicyclarium, 1984 by #LebbeusWoods Epicyclarium is a complete thought experiment – designed to generate an evolving global image. Woods describes Epicyclarium as the “cure for a fever” to build a “new unity of form, idea, and experience.” As he wrote, “it is not meant to be a style of architecture per se, but in an evolution of consciousness, a co-ordination of hand and eye and mind with elemental forces acting in the world.” @j_olshin Lebbeus Woods: Ecologies, 1984-1990 / Friedman Benda, LA / January 6 - February 4, 2023
