The book Works in Architecture by artist group A Kassen explores the blending of art and architecture in what they term the expanded domain of architecture. It highlights the creative exchanges between these two fields, offering a deeper dialogue that challenges traditional ideas of architecture as merely functional and aesthetic. Through a series of projects, A Kassen introduces elements that disturb and distort reality, encouraging us to see and experience space in new ways.
By merging art with architecture, A Kassen opens up new possibilities for how spaces can be designed, used, and interpreted. Their work encourages architects and artists alike to reimagine the role of art in shaping the built world, offering fresh inspiration for incorporating creativity into building culture. This continuous exploration of the intersection between art and architecture helps to redefine the boundaries of both disciplines, pushing the potential of architecture into new, imaginative territory.
