Maros Krivy - Entropy




Of course the places where we live and what we build do something to define who we are, a material narrative of culture and of human relations, in different layers, some partly erased, others right on the surface. It is this unstable nature of “place” and how we think about it that seems to drive Maros Krivy’s project Entropy, how human landscapes are shaped by forces other than major social change and catastrophe (though they too have some role). His attention is repeatedly drawn to the strange – and revealing – juxtapositions of architecture in different phases of habitation, of use. It is an alternate history of how cultural changes manifest themselves in the built fabric of our lives.

The of rest this project can be found here and there's also a selection of other work.
