The exhibition The Penchant for Geometry uses models, spatial objects, drawings, photographs and a specially created floor plan atlas to explore the fascinating, timeless core of architecture \u2013 the interplay of form, body and space. Vienna-based architect Martin Feiersinger’s exploratory examination of geometry moves playfully between historical references, theory and current practice. He is fascinated by experiments with space beyond the powerful typologies of churches and government palaces. Starting from a broad interest in private spaces and \u2018artists’ houses\u2019 (i.e. houses that architects have created for themselves), he has been investigating for many years the geometric experiments of Sebastiano Serlio and Vincenzo Scamozzi, from Fischer von Erlach to Lois Welzenbacher, from John Hejduk and Richard Buckminster Fuller to Anne Tyng’s \u2018Inhabiting Geometry\u2019 and the playfully intertwined residential architectures of Parisian architect Ren\u00e9e Gailhoustet. Curated by Martin Feiersinger and Gabriele Kaiser, the exhibition conveys the fascinating cosmos of geometry in four thematic strands and with examples from the Renaissance to the present day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geometric solids\u2019 (models of Platonic solids; solid and hollow regular solids)
Research on architectural space\u2019 (from the studiolo to the \u2018Dome Home\u2019 to the Hexagon House to the megastructure)
\u2018Floor plan atlas\u2019 (chronological examples of dwellings from the Renaissance to the present day)
\u2018Follies\u2019 (architectural features)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
