| description | In defining his work, Peter Märkli has repeatedly indicated the existence of the letter A as a likely design phenomenology. As he related to Samuel Penn in 2012, «I remember very clearly being a small boy in class and being told by my teacher not to write the letter A in that way, that it always has to be written like this, upright».Text is constructed beginning with this symbol, with the letter A as the start of a genealogy orchestrated around three themes that intersects alphabets and adventures to explain, through the practice of drawing, the practice of design, that is, architecture, the third A. The various passages are expressions of events that enter the circuit of a possible world where representation marks inheritance, explorations, and the presence of the author, Märkli, who, working in a state of boredom, founds new geographies based on the things that exist all around us. |
