Tuesday morning randomness LEVEL UP on

Sgraffito–> scratching through wet plaster on a wall showing different-colour under surface (2 color)

The title comes from italian “sgraffito” -  a wall decor technique commonly used in Europe to decorate castles and chateaus during the Renaissance.
— Italy in the 16th century

Sgraffito played a significant role during the years of the Renaissance in Italy.  As a simple native art old examples of sgraffito were found in Florence and more specifically in the chateaus , Palazzo Ramirez de Montalvo and Palazzo Peppi  [draft sketch included for the first one to GET you in the subject]

—Germany-Bavaria——Austria

During the 16th century the technique was brought to Germany by the master builders of the Renaissance and taken up with enthusiasm by the formative craftsmen..

—Spain-Catalonia

In Catalonia, sgraffito was implemented in the early 20th century by the Noucentista neo-classical architects and became a recurrent technique in façade decoration.

Black Sunday//Where is my INVERTED CONE bitch?

Posted on October 2, 2011 by | 2 Comments

One of the “one and onlys” WOLF THE PRIX has the honor to be featured in our black sunday special!
His architectural style is widely recognized. Every time I see one of his masterpieces I think of ice cream. Numerous stories exist about Wolf running around in his office shouting:

“WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO?? DRAW IT FOR YOU!?”
(refering to his inverted cone)

THE TOM (a.k.a West Side DON) was one of the few to renounce the utility of the inverted cone. Eventually, he got sacked!

Apparently not all architects agree with WOLF THE PRIX on his methods and approach. Pete the EIS was brave enough to stand up against the wolf!

The royal battle was recorded during the crit of a student in Wolf’s unit! The EIS was invited but ended up KICKING THE HELL out of the Wolf. —>

AND HE WON!!!!

HOWEVER!
Peter.the hustler.Cook once again washed us with his light of experience.
It is clear by now that THE EIS and THE WOLF had brought knives into a gunfight.
