Line.Scape Topologies: Hyder Distortion

Linework produced from a historical revitalisation project in Fort Worth, Texas. This piece entails the 2d documentation of particulate matter in the architect's detail palette from the 1920's. The building on which the image was inspired is a 2-storey brick-facade building with a fenestration of wooden-framed windows. Flower-like entablatures add richness above the transoms and moulding details. Criss-cross wooden bands span the datums along the facade. Here is a line.Scape interpretation.

Bradley Sliva is recipient of several scholarships for his designs, scholarly work and professional leadership. He has studied in Unit 20 at the Bartlett School of Architecture // University College London.

He heads up Experimental Processes Studio, an inter-disciplinary architectural research and design consultancy based in Taipei. Here, the studio is informed by an international perspective as it creates a dialogue for a radical and visionary near future. As such, a strategic emphasis on speculative environments attempts to reinterpret and synthesize extant typological, geographical, and ecological patterns of place and culture.

Bradley is currently teaching at Shih Chien University Department of Architecture (實踐大學建築設計學系)

He recently collaborated with London artist, Gerry Judah on the proposal for Alfa Romeo’s centennial anniversary pavilion for the 2010 Goodwood Festival of Speed. Also in 2010, he won the inaugural Richard B. Ferrier prize for his work entitled Line.Scape Topologies in the 36th-annual Ken Roberts Memorial Delineation Competition – the most senior drawing competitions in the world. Since 2006, he has collaborated with award-winning design studios such as Föda Studio in Austin and Laguarda-Low Architects in Dallas, where he worked with the competition team to visualize the winning proposal for a mixed-use urban intervention in Pangyo, Korea.

In 2005, he received a B.S. Arch. from the University of Texas at Arlington where he was the president at the local chapter of the American Institute of Architecture Students. In addition, Bradley was awarded the Alpha Rho Chi medal by nomination of the architecture faculty. During this time, he was also awarded by the Fort Worth and Dallas Construction Specifications Institute chapters for advancement in the field of architectural design. His student projects under the professorship of Martin Price have garnered him Honor and Merit awards by the Ft. Worth American Institute of Architects. Upon graduating, he backpacked solo across Japan on the Dallas Architecture Foundation’s McDermott Traveling Fellowship following Frank Lloyd Wright’s 1905 travel itinerary. He has continued to travel within Europe and East Asia to lecture and exhibit his work.

Previously, he has been invited to sit-in on architectural reviews at UT Austin; the University of Lund (Sweden) by invitation of Matt Fajkus; NUU - Miaoli, Taiwan (國立聯合大學), National Taipei University of Technology (國立臺北科技大學); and at El Centro College in Dallas, Texas.

His passion is to use scholarly and meaningful design for the betterment of humanity
