Gravity Is A Force to Be Reckoned With June 2, 2010

Inigo Manglano-Ovalle's project 'Gravity Is a Force to be Reckoned With,' is based upon Mies van der Rohe's uncompleted project, the 50x50 House (1951), a square structure open to view on all four sides through glass walls. In Manglano-Ovalle's work, the house will be constructed at approximately half scale and inverted, the ceiling of the original becoming the sculpture's floor, the floor becoming the ceiling, and all interior elements such as Mies-designed furniture and partition walls installed upside down.
