VISUAL EF9ECTS | Architecture and the Chess Game of Form & Story

“Architecture is a Silver Coin. Inscribed on one side, FORM: Architecture is the stage set for the drama of life. Inscribed on the other side, STORY: Architecture is a story told through a building.” — JEF7REY HILDNER IN VISUAL EF9ECTS, THE ARCHITECT PAINTER JEF7REY HILDNER builds on signature themes and concepts he lays out in Daedalus 9. The basis of his talk for the Symposium on Formalism (2016) at the Syracuse University School of Architecture Program in Florence, VISUAL EF9ECTS reflects Hildner’s quest to design buildings that trade in the Silver Coin of Architecture: an architecture that presents a creative demonstration of the Chess Game of Art, where the White Knight of Form (Aesthetics) and the Black Knight of Story (Symbolics) team up to make a Significant Architecture.
