maya lin, the art of landscape


http://www.mayalin.com/

摩摩愛人
maya lin is an architect and artist, i am so moved by her simple landscape artworks.
she is the niece of linhuiyin, who is said to be the first female architect in China.





i just like the way she talks, calm, powerful and confident

i find her way of obsessing in earth curvature, (cause technically we as human can't see it, like a flat global), is so similar with James Turrell's idea of viewing the landscape as if it is a curve physically,
it is playing with the perception of how we see the nature and how is it so different from its actual appearance.
James Turrell The Carter Lip


James Turrell creates a circular frame for us to view the sky
sometime when i look at the map too much, i will easily forget the earth is a globe, a ball, this idea is so fascinating to me, we as human, create map to make our lives more convenient, but in a way, we changed the whole thing of the earth, we put our perception on it, but what if we are all in the universe?
like astronauts, they fly up to the universe and view the planet as a real and original form.
i really thanks James and Maya to remind me that they are not as what we see they are.

it is a bliss either to live or die here






Location: Nagano, Japan
Use: Summer house
Completion: 2010
Steel construction
Land area: 590.94㎡

This house is absolutely lovely and ambient. The only thing i can think of about the outdoor area where you can have sunbath facing the forest. is the Laputa tune of Joe Hisaishi....
Just imagine lying down, enjoying the sun with the music... i wish i can die in such way
