Architectural Sculpture by Mark Goulthorpe

About the Item

Unique sculptural architectural model created by Mark Goulthorpe, professor of Architectural Design at MIT, circa 2003. This piece was originally created as an architectural model for the interior of a Parisian fashion atelier. It is quite impressive in person measuring approximately 7 feet width by 3 feet high. It is constructed of laminated plywood cut by a numeric command machine. It was originally intended to sit flat, as seen in photo number five, but it could also be wall mounted. It looks incredible from any angle. Goulthorpe's design firm has received awards from the Royal Academy in London, the French Ministry of Culture, and the Architectural League of New York, and has represented France at the Venice Biennale and the United Nations. They were selected by the Architects Design journal in it's international survey of thirty 'Emerging Voices' at the RIBA in London, and were awarded second place in the BD 'Young Architect of the Year' Competition, 1999. They were invited to exhibit in the International Pavilion at the Venice Biennale 2000, and to exhibit 10 years of work at FRAC in Orleans. Most recently they were awarded the prestigious international FEIDAD Digital Design Award 2001, and invited to the 'Architecture of the Non-Standard' manifesto at the Centre Pompidou in Paris 2003.
