how about the scroeder house designed (1924) by gerritt reitveld in the
style of a mondrian painting?

kurt schwitters merz haus

emilio terry and the surrealists (julian levy exhibition in the 30s or 40s)

frank gehry's house and rauschenberg

also there's a book called cubist architecture that you could try

Subject: Collage or painting architecture!


----------------------------Original message----------------------------
One of our exchange students (architecture) has chosen an interesting, but
difficult task for her diploma:

She has chosen a painting by Kurt Schwitters and from that painting she is
going to design a building!! That is, she will more or less be trying to
make a two-dimensional painting three-dimensional! Now, I am not going to do
the project for her, but she insisted that some architect or architects had
done similar work, and I "haven't a clue!" Can any of you give me an example
of a "pumped up" painting or collage, or a building designed with a two
dimensional work of art as a starting point? Any information will be of
interest! (Sounds a bit like de-deconstruction to me).

Hoping to hear from you as soon as possible!
