RG13 WITHIN. Architecture, photography, memory. As a metaphor for architecture, the cube is deconstructed, disclosing the jewel within. Following the launch of the Lisbon Architecture Guide 1948-2013, Architecture Bookshop A+A challenged designer Rui Grazina, in collaboration with photographer Fernando Guerra, to design a piece to celebrate the event.
The set of six pieces, designated WITHIN, had its first edition in December 2013, and is the first of a series that intends to show outstanding buildings in Lisbon.
The piece is made of Burel, a 100% wool handmade fabric, produced in Portugal by Burel Factory.
Each of the six pieces carries an initial of the word WITHIN, and consists of a number of square layers of Burel wool that are sewn together to form a small cube, each level featuring a narrow opening in its center. When the piece is folded on its closed shape, the interior slot houses a 4x4cm print of an iconic architecture project, set on an aluminium support.
