Bartels _ Ahamed (Deep Decoration by Nina Rappaport)
Deep decoration is
a term by Architectural Critic and Curator Nina Rappaport to express a new way of thinking about the relationship
between structure, form and aesthetics in architecture.
It is the thoughtful and
well-articulated use of patterns and geometry that results in a harmonious
relationship between structure, form and aesthetics and not adorning a
structure with dissimilar elements.
Sources of inspirations
for decoration can be drawn from nature through geometry in the form of
fractals, tessellations and structural or growth algorithms.
Deep
decoration in architecture is expressed in a unified relationship in function
and form that is between structure (bones) and skin (façade).
Deep
decoration as an ideal is achieved when structure and skin are one element.
Deep decoration
in the form of fractals or tessellations may be used to subdivide interior spaces
in many variations to create new spatial effects.
