ABSTRACT
New York-based architect-turned-artist Alex Schweder’s practice explores architecture through the senses and emotions that architects typically neglect: smell, taste, sweat, desire. Describing his work as ‘performance architecture’, Schweder’s installations act as ‘props for inhabitants to form and perform their identities’. In this brief idiosyncratic text, Schweder describes his inflatable piece Sensefactory, evoking a form of architecture that is dynamic, unstable and erotic.
