CLON(ED)WALL

“(F)lesh implies a sense of bodilyness and material sensuality, but also notions of the abject, it prompts investigations in a variety of fields, such as aesthetics, biology, cultural studies, art and architecture.”- Marcos Cruz

Body as a unit, which synthesizes microbiology and systems of living, presence until its imperfect demise is an amalgamation of repertoires that, in unison, choreograph in whole.

Body as ephemeral, voxelized through living tissue and sequences, wrapped through skin, in our imagination of CLONED walls, human flesh is both a biological organism and a socially constructed fiction. It interrogates flesh as a non-architectural material, aiming to invent corporeal tectonics while subverting traditional architectural imagery at the intersection of the weird and the grotesque in the age of posthumanism.

By drawing parallels between the physiology of human flesh and the cavity wall system, we developed an animated flesh-wall system that simultaneously conceals and reveals its underlying structure. Fat functions as insulation, bone as structure, and skin as a suspended curtain system, stripped of its conventional familiarity. Tattoos serve as modifiable filters, while cuts and scars become self-regenerative openings, further blurring the boundary between materiality and organic adaptation.We share more in common with static walls and our skin than not, thermal resilience and constructed morphology.
