Gerard Titsman -

: Place a fine mesh screen (a "mould and deckle") into a flat pan filled with water. Pour your pulp into the pan.

After surviving World War II, Titsman immigrated to Brazil in 1949. It was in the tropical climate of Rio de Janeiro that he encountered the work of Oscar Niemeyer and the structural genius of Joaquim Cardozo. Unlike his European counterparts who relied on rigid, rectilinear logic, Titsman became obsessed with the "soft curve"—the idea that a building could move, breathe, and find its strength through fluid geometry. gerard titsman
