Fabrica13
Throughout the studio, Michael Hoover drew inspiration from Ricardo Bofill and his design techniques. The art of collaging seemed to best represent how he created spaces by chance and unconscious thinking. Through adaptive re-use, Bofill was able to re-imagine as- ound spaces. In this way, form and function were disassociated.

Hoover used casting techniques to create solid-void inversions which capture the abnormal spaces found in Bofill’s Fabrica, and allow for an abstract and tactile spatial analysis. The newly casted spaces act as containers for a seminary that can be re-occupied, and create an evocative air of uncertainty in their arrangement.
I found a freedom in just making instead of thinking.
