Allan Wexler’s Axonometrics of the House (1979)

January 19, 2015 by Fosco Lucarelli Leave a Comment

Some days ago we featured on Socks a set of cray landscape models by US architect, artist and teacher Allan Wexler. Today we focus on a smaller scale, that of the human habitat: the following is a 1979 pencil on vellum project entitled “Axonometrics of the House“.
