| summary |
This paper explores several historical and contemporary examples of architecture that employ graphic texture mapping in their design processes. The technique of texture mapping is outlined as a particular formal relationship between images, geometric scaffolds, and new material explorations. Texture-mapped architecture is a relatively contemporary phenomenon that is distinct from several known genres of image-building hybrids such as media facades, Ganzfeld art installations, building-scale projection experiments, postmodern semiotic billboards, and affective ornamental pattern strategies. Architectural texturing utilizes UV editors in modeling and animation software platforms to place and edit two-dimensional graphics or photographic images on three-dimensional models. UV editors allow an unprecedented degree of precision during the design process; image and geometry can be manipulated in tandem and two-dimensional source material can be edited and live-updated. Material manifestations of this process use commercial printing technologies and one-off processes developed by artists and designers to generate building-grade printed envelopes. The theoretical wager of the paper is that the accessibility/availability of texture mapping techniques, digital printing technologies, and new materials (such as 3M’s vinyl wraps) have triggered a graphic impulse in contemporary experimental architecture culture. Images, color theory, and flat graphics are now central to compositional theory as it is taught in academia and applied in the field. |
