Architectonic-beginnings

Tom Kovac
Di Stasio Virtual Pavilion
Beijing 2006

Born 1958 in Solvenia, Tom Kovac currently resides in Melboune, Australia

A quote i found on http://www.designboom.com/eng/interview/kovac.html

"...an adjunct professor at RMIT university, kovac`s teaching methodology complements this practice related research and experimental design direction, which covers a broad spectrum of design and creative a ctivities within the field of digital architecture and design..."


sums up Kovac individual design process and concept in
which he approaches architecture.


A similar design is the...

The Virtual Pavilion was Australia’s
unofficialb‘presence’ in the 2004
architecture
biennial in venice.
Australian Virtual Pavillion, 2004


Both these buildings portray Kovac's unique creativity in his approach to architecture.

The similarity of the two buildings suggests that Kovac has a fascination with extending the boundries of typical architecture of just 4 walls and a roof.

The shapes he creates are futurist, innovative and inspirational to all areas of design including fashion. The outside structure could easily translate to the structure of a stiffened blouse or bubble skirt.
