Abstract
April 11 saw the Chairman of London's Bartlett School of Architecture, Peter Cook, here in town at the University of Hong Kong, presenting a lecture called "Lyrical Mechanisms", a title which may have led at least some members of the packed crowed to assume the poster image was of something lyrical, mechanical, but not necessarily architectural. In fact this image is of a building, currently under construction in Austria. That this fact is not self-evident is either a statement about the current condition of architecture, the condition of Cook's current work, or the condition of our own skills of perception. Be that as it may, it wasn't until the very end of his talk that this particular building project - and the mystery of the poster image - was unveiled, a bit of intellectual 'teasing' no doubt fully intended.
