Tekst achterflap

‘Proto Vernacular’ is both art object and architectural meditation, a richly visual and philosophical publication by Pezo von Ellrichshausen. It explores architecture’s most primordial tension, tracing the shift from anonymous building traditions to authored design. Bringing together “Vernacular” drawings (pencil studies of archetypal buildings) and “Proto” paintings, the book reflects on origins, repetition, and architecture’s desire to return to a “first” state. A thoughtful text on the making of Luna House reveals how seclusion, material necessity, and the interruptions of daily life shape architectural thought. The book also features essays by Hans Ibelings and Pezo von Ellrichshausen.
