Victor Lundy Artist Architect

Title: Victor Lundy Artist Architect Publisher: Princeton Architectural Press . 2018. ISBN: 9781616896614 “He truly is an artist, working with material substance and weight, as well as the more ephemeral qualities of light, to make space that befits the client's inspirations. His self-proclaimed “intuitive” design skills are informed by this interest in materials, deep understanding of structural forces, and close study of the behavior of light. Lundy continuously focused on how architectural form is enhanced by thoughtful use of materials, structural systems, and the movement of light in space.” “Él es realmente un artista, trabajando con la esencia y el peso de los materiales, así como con las cualidades efímeras de la luz, para crear un espacio que se adapte a los deseos del cliente. Sus autoproclamadas habilidades “intuitivas” para el diseño parten de este interés por los materiales, una profunda comprensión en las cargas estructurales y un estudio preciso del comportamiento de la luz. Lundy continuamente se focalizó en como la forma arquitectónica se ve reforzada por un uso considerado de los materiales, los sistemas estructurales y el movimiento de la luz dentro en el espacio.” Victor Lundy: Artist Architect (c) 2019 Donna Kacmar, published by Princeton Architectural Press. page 191. Our initial approach to the book Victor Lundy Artist Architect is with curiosity for an architect that we had barely heard about in the past, a stranger. Nonetheless, the scarce photos that we had seen of his projects showed us a multifaceted architect with an endless capacity to design and precise control over form and materiality. Victor Lundy is a very difficult architect to classify, and it is because of this that Princeton’s Architectural Press book, published at the end of 2018, undertakes for the first time the challenge to condense and interpret his architecture.
