Shifting Horizons The polarity between the figure and area, the construction and ground, is an issue running throughout conventional architectural history, including modernism. Traditionally, the footing was the element with which the (building's) figure rose above the (building) ground. Modernism blasted the footing away, allowing the construction to float above the ground and the site to flow on "untouched". One thing remained unmoved after the break with tradition: The horizon of architecture lies above that of nature; the figure still distances itself from the site,yet with different means, and the ideal landscape continues to be the common vanishing point. For more than ten years, Wolfgang Tschapeller's projects have been an attempt to resolve and/or shift the axiom of horizons and the figure-area dialectics. For Tschapeller, the landscape ideal has today become fiction. The layers and sediments of civilization have long entombed the zero line between nature and culture. Correspondingly, architecture can no longer be founded on the simple contrast between the construction and site. The artificiality of the ground's relief is now to be seen as a shaped totality, especially in old living environments. Any intervention into this relief represents a conversion that simply no longer rests upon 'steady' ground but rather penetrates into an already site-less swimming texture of previous constructive and destructive processes.
