Tiamat Installation / AAU ANASTAS

Building upon Stone Matters, Tiamat is the latest of its experimental iterations for contemporary architecture. Above all, Stone Maters looks with hindsight at the history of stone architecture in order to better expand the possibilities of building with stone today. It relies as much on paradigmatic theories set in the 1960s, in the 17th century, or in prehistory. The understanding of stone architecture is peculiar in the sense that the material calls for an intuitive architecture: its history is not linear, and, in some cases, theories may have followed and/or contradicted already grounded and established practices of architecture.
