trompe-l'oeil in architecture - a wildetect design ideal




To create architectural design that creates illusions to the eye is nothing new, infact the french have a word for it.  
A disintegration of perspective, a deception of vista or a perceived kinetic architectural masterpiece. This can be applied to a dynamic Africanised fauvistic architectural ideal is applied to art and design. 

This rough exploration of  wildetect ideals is intriguing. A sculpted shell building from 1 perspective and then  appearing to disappear depending on your vantage point into a cascading fluted building from any other vantage point. A very exciting point of architectural design departure. this concept encapsulates the wildetecture concept  currently being explored. the concept of wild african fauvistic architecture that only the African continent can dare to unapologetically unleash on the world stage.

Wildetecture is and always has been fervently exploring these design ideals.
