#ThrowbackThursday
In 2014, The Drawing Center exhibited “Lebbeus Woods, Architect” creating an oeuvre of complex worlds—at times abstract and at times explicit—that present shifts, cycles, repetitions within the built environment. Woods wrote: “In my work, architecture is meant to embody an ideal of thought and action, informed by comprehensive knowledge of the physical world.” Woods worked cyclically, returning often to themes of architecture’s ability to transform, resist, and free the collective and the individual. As an architect whose work lies almost solely in the realm of the imagined, proposed, and the unbuilt, his contributions to the field opened up new avenues for exploring, charting, and inscribing space. “Lebbeus Woods, Architect” provided a thematic, rather than chronological, framework for understanding the experimental and timeless nature of Woods's work.
