Before joining the faculty of the Southern California Institute of Architecture in Los Angeles (Sci-Arc), Mira Henry spent several years as a project architect, immersed in the everyday, banal details of how buildings get built such as construction drawings and material specs. But as a progressive architectural thinker, her inspiration has been to “unsee” the very forms and representations that constitute an architect’s basic language. For example, through speculative experiments and conceptual drawings Henry discovers in static architectural details an unsettling range of figurative expression, such as the way the profiles of roof eaves resemble human heads. Join UMMA docents as they explore how these features animate our subjective experience–what she calls our “shifting fantasies”–of architectural space.
