Brick and Balloon
is a venture that aims to
investigate architecture, drawing and theory.
The supposed solidity of
architecture is represented by bricks, while the apparent abstraction of theory is represented by balloons.
They are linked by the simultaneous
act of the brick grounding the balloon in lived reality and the balloon lifting
the brick into conceptual analysis.
Brick and Balloon is the brainchild of Omar Ghazal who has
recently completed his Masters at the Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL and
is centrally interested in the way that social frames dictate mass perception
of people and events resulting in an architecture that challenges conventional
frames of reference.
