Nikita TROUFANOV & Gonzalo PADILLA: Representation can be thought of as the place of articulation between architectural practice and theory. It is precisely in such moments of change where critical thought and new theories are produced and practice is radically restructured. What makes representation a crucial field in the understanding of architecture is the mediated character of representation itself. — Stan Allen
DrawDEL Strands is an experiment in the oscillation of materiality—layering information sets and shifting focus, materialized as part drawing part model.

nikita TROUFANOV: “Dance Center, Printers Row: Cybernetic Assemblages.” The proposed project explores the idea of superimposition and cybernetic assemblages. By combining and overlaying organic, natural, smooth systems with machine-like, synthetic, rigid ones, a deeper experience of architectural space is achieved.
