Architectural Elements as Material for Sculptures: The Work of Sebastián Dávila

Subscriber Access

Through elements that once served a functional purpose in architecture—such as door frames, scaffolding, wheelbarrows, planters, or chairs—Colombian artist Sebastián Dávila assigns them a sculptural use, transmuting this obsolescence into the foundation for creating new scaled spatialities in cast concrete. In conversation with ArchDaily, the artist, sculptor, and near-architect explains how merging art and architecture transcends the stereotomic quality of concrete-generated space.
