The PARDO HOUSE

is constructed with heavy cinder blocks and plywood. Sheets of plywood were glued together and cut out to form pillars and flying beams overhead. Positive and negative shapes make asymmetrical, shifting views that change as the viewer moves around in the room. Boxy skylights let in the gray Danish light from deep wood wells. The room has smelled like cut wood for many years, and will probably continue to smell this way until the formaldehyde in the glue dissolves completely.
