Alex Schweder: Wall to Wall, Floor to Ceiling

For Alex Schweder (b. 1970), architecture is passion: people’s behavior in space, the way spaces construct human relations and induce self-reflection. Schweder fabricates “breathing” spaces comprising raised floors and thrusting walls; architecture that provides an experience of contraction and expansion, compression and translocation, cyclical performance choreography of change in constructed cycles within inflated/deflated bubbles.

Schweder studied architecture at the Pratt Institute and in Princeton. He has recently exhibited at the Lisbon Architecture Triennial, the Tate Britain and the Marrakech Biennial.
