DECEPTIVE ARCHITECTURE

Posted by Mike Rigby

Remember Richard Wilson? Creator of the ‘turning the place over’ installation in Liverpool (below).

He has a new work on the corner of the London School of Economic’s (LSE) New Academic Building called ‘Square the Block’, a striking but subtle addition to the original building. It’s worth a look by all accounts.

When Wilson won this competition in 2007 his proposal was to place a corner where none existed. This huge five-storey structure is remarkably deceptive due to its construction from jesmonite, a lightweight moulded acrylic fibreglass, the attention to detail and matching of colouring, which is so precise that you could easily be convinced into thinking it’s the real thing.
