Lebbeus Woods

One of my favorite parts of this class was that it presented many opportunities to explore avenues previously unknown. Over the course of ten days I was able to see the work of artists that, until recently, I had no idea existed. Lebbeus Woods was one such artist, although he was not on display at the Drawing Center a book cataloging his previous exhibition was on the shelf in their bookstore. Seeing the cover I had no choice but to pick the book up and I am glad that I did. Woods calls himself an architect although he never received a degree in architecture yet the truth of this self proclamation is evident in his work. Most of the pieces are centered around the theme of drawing connections between existing architectural elements and things that may come, that is, Woods, through his work, highlights the struggles between past, present, and future.
