IDEOLOGY :

Neil Denari became principally concerned

with issues of the dynamic relationship
between architecture and technology,
which has been made manifest in a
variety of ways as technology is
constantly and rapidly changing.
These changes are all part of the larger phenomena - globalization. The relationship
naturally brings up the discourse of representation in architecture and how it is affected by
the development of technology.

Multisection Office Block project. The “laminar structure” of
Denari’s localized worldsheets serves as a single continuously
folded structure that mediates between previous binaries such
as “inside/outside” and “vertical/horizontal.” Source: Neil

Floor plan and local site plan for Neil Denari’s 1993 Details Design
Studio project, in which Denari mapped the local flows of
information. The project was designed to act as a functional “wall”
that would divide act as an architectural interface between the
clerical and design spaces of the Details company.

Final design for the Details Design Studio project. The

undulating sheet of Denari’s design is a physical model of
information and personnel flows around and through the office
space. “The project creates an information cipher that passes
through the space, becoming in form within the room
itself.”Source: Neil Denari, Gyroscopic Horizons .
