Thom Mayne’s redesign of his own Los Angeles home which featured the insertion of various industrial and mechanical elements to a standard framed house led to a series of subversive screenprints involving uncommon techniques of architectural representation and unusual use of metallic pigment and copper gilding. To communicate the complex spatial reconfiguration of the house, Mayne and collaborator Andrew Zago developed innovative drawing strategies against traditional orthogonal projections. The result is a richly layered composition representing a spatial narrative between characteristic construction elements.
