FXAT SCREEN

Author(s): Christina James, Jason S. Johnson, Joshua Taron, Logan Armstrong & Matthew Parker

The FXAT Screen seeks to reclaim the presence of architecture and its imagery in the public realm. CNC milled opaque plywood panels produce a thickened surface revealing the material stratification within the planar surfaces. In direct contrast to the hyper smooth and streamlined aesthetic of contemporary media devices, the FXAT Screen wraps an artificial topography around an exaggerated cantilevered form that addresses both the pedestrian corridor of the urban core and the main venues for the RAIC ArchitectureFestival. A gradient of openings migrates across the form toward the street, concluding with a 14 x 7-foot rear projection screen showing the work of 15 emerging Canadian architecture firms in the RAIC’s Future Voice: Situating Architecture Exhibition.
