Pratt Sessions 16: Andrew Zago and Mark Lee, "New Architectural Mediums: Objects, Figures, and Fields"

Both Andrew and Mark are influential educators whose completed projects and installations are equally distinctive and impactful. Drawing and modeling underpin the effects of their designs; though in different ways. Where the work of JohnstonMarklee trends toward subtractive methods, Zago Architecture lists toward the accumulative. In the work and teaching of both Lee and Zago there is a notable tension between objects, figures and fields. Here, environment and inclusivity are activated through the dense, thick and porous qualities and experiences of their projects. While there are shared histories and geographies between them, it is their intense (yet different) focuses on architectural mediums that brings them together for PS16.
