Get lost in the woods without leaving the city in Allied Works
Architecture’s latest installation at
The Ace Hotel, appropriately
named “Forest from the Trees”. The delightfully disorienting
space envelops the visitor in an image from Oregon’s Tilamook
Forest in “an attempt to dis- and re- orient the experience of a
specific room.” It’s a bit disappointing to look up,
expecting to see the tops of trees and be met by a ceiling instead, but
anything convincing enough to make you look in the first place is
arguably cooler.
Allied Works Architecture’s installation
The “spatial sketch” was created to celebrate Allied Works
Architecture’s first book,
Allied Works Architecture Brad
Cloepfil: Occupation, and for a perfect excuse to
check out the space before its two week run is up: Allied Works’
Brad Cloepfil will host Expac 15 at the Ace, “a monthly party for
Pacific Northwest expatriates and those that (look) like them,” on
April 19.
