Abstract:
This is a simple text: it is about vaults with no supporting walls, something that JohnstonMarkLee realized in their Vault house in Oxnard, CA and that we (baukuh) once designed for the unbuilt Italian Pavilion at Expo Shanghai 2010. If I write about flying vaults, it is because I like the idea, and because I think it is innocent and at the same time not innocent. In fact, vaults cannot fly and to let them do that, you need to be naïve and cynical at the same time, a thing I of course endorse.
