WCFI exhibition - wildetecture lecture - 29th august.

I must thank WCFI and selections warehouse for allowing us to showcase our work in this insight exhibition at Wembley square. Its  an incredible opportunity to have our wildetecture  furniture part of this esteemed exhibition.

Our furniture design and manufacture is a quest for immediacy in the creative wildetecture process. People relate to furniture more easily than architecture to my mind. So their opinions are far more intense than on an architectural building. So it was a natural progression to start exploring concepts in this very challenging furniture design and manufacture  medium. Because furniture design and manufacture is a more immediate end product process than architecture.  Our learning curve is faster and much more intense.

Wildetecture is a conceptual architectural studio first and foremost. We started off 4 yrs ago exploring architectural concepts. Weve been having this wildetecture design idea creative conversation since then. So its now about time we started to include other like minded designers in the dialogue and even the public. To step out from behind the internet curtain so to speak - As weve currently been operating from behind the green curtain with our veldskoens peeking under the trim. So this insight exhibition is a second step into the real space of public scrutiny. So far its been a great privilege to get feedback from the public. Its been very positive so far and a great honor to interact with folk who are complimenting and supporting our wild design efforts.

We have been experimenting and exploring wildetecture architectural design concepts that we loosely term under the banner Africa fauvistic architectural design. Concepts we are experimenting with -  like

1) Earth branded architecture - wildetecture style.
2) Perceived kinetic architecture - wildetecture style
3) Disintegration of perspective. - wildetecture style
4) Human driven architectural mechanisms. - wildetecture style
5) Architectural shadow projections - wildetecture style
6) Deception of vista - wildetecture style

Wildetecture is pure Africa inspired - its bright , bold , loud,  unapologetic and its not really offended if you dont like the style. Its a complete reaction back to small box, big box architecture. A reaction against the accountant grid like trimmed down architecture we have around us.

So thankyou for coming to our short wildetecture lecture - I know sometimes being invited to art events - One can feel  your going to have to leave with a piece of art you dont want and a head full of arty psycho babble you dont understand. At this insight exhibition you have complete choice across the range of cape town designed furniture - I have been incredibly impressed with many pieces on show.

(Go through examples of slides - most of which are on this blog).

Thankyou for braving this fierce cape storm to listen to this wildetect lecture. which forms part of a series of lectures started in 2006 - under the banner Future techno perfect.

Thankyou for listening.
