Xefirotarch Design Series 4
Since its founding in 1999, Hernán Díaz Alonso's Los Angeles - based architectural firm, Xefirotarch, has attracted critical praise and global attention for its highly imaginative designs.
Characterized by biomorphic forms that meld the organic with the supernatural, Xefirotarch's projects reveal cinematic influences - Díaz Alonso initially considered a career as a filmmaker - and an innovative approach to integrating multipurposed spaces.
The exhibition includes design maquettes, architectural models, digital animations, and a specially created sculptural installation called Sangre (Spanish for "blood"), a dramatic, undulating fiberglass construction coated in patented, factory-issued Ferrari Red paint.
This is the fourth installment of SFMOMA's design series, devoted to showcasing emerging design talent across an array of disciplines.
The exhibition will take place between March 31, 2006 and September 17, 2006.
