Part of Graeme Thiedeke Papers
Two architectural drawings (ink line drawings on paper). Client: New York film producer, Tibetan art collector. Brief: House that fuses cultures. The architecture of neighbouring regional towns often have Asian aesthetics. This experimental design, given a Japanese form, emerged as pure Mexican. Mexican pyramids are the base for temples and there are two 'temples': 1. living areas and 2. master bed, built on a stone pyramidal base, housing 2nd and 3rd bedrooms. The living room 'temple' structure was constructed from 80-year-old telephone poles.
