Declaration of Intentions
Posted in Information

Holes of Matter is an architectural practice dedicated to discovering, transforming, and creating blank architecture.

With its unparalleled capacity to accommodate any agent’s desire, blank architecture can only be an enabler: it enables people to achieve their ends but it also allows them to persist in self-destructive behavior. As producers of blank architecture we accept this flexibility (physical and conceptual, material and ideological) as a sensitive and contradictory architectural proposition.

Architectural blankness is a self-cancelling condition: due to its apparent lack of inherent ideological content, blank architecture remains constantly available for appropriation and is always on the verge of vanishing into excess and domination.
