FRONT
Work by Veerle Michiels & Jonas Vansteenkiste
2014
'Front' is a project where two architectural types are processed. On the one hand a bunker, the other a framing reference to a house. In both elements the concept of 'protection' is essential, but their visual and historical character bring other associations to this work.
​
In combining the two architectures into a new whole, there is a content and visual tension that makes it into complex relationship. The bunker is a introvert volume and the fragile structure of the wooden house has more an open charachter.
​
Is this a house under construction?
Does the bunker the foundation?
For this wooden skeleton hiding something or
is this construction a materialized desire to become a home?
​
By a shared fascination with bunkers we decided to cooperate and investigate this fascination.
