INFO:
What happens when the manifold technical labors of design coordination become art? Two years ago, BIM drawings were framed and salon-hung in a Palladian mansion. Curated by Farshid Moussavi, the 2017 Royal Academy show in London, Architecture as an “Instruction-Based” Art, featured two conventions of computer-aided coordination: layers and colors. What follows is a review of these works vis-à-vis labor.
