Romanian architect Vlad Tenu was awarded the first price in the Tex-Fab Repeat Competition
for his project ‘Minimal Complexity’ which along with its aesthetic
beauty, technical superiority and elegance of detailing, the proposal
was chosen because it employs structural robustness, material efficiency
and an inherent logic of assembly. A minimal periodic surface
structure is created with the repetition of only 16 different
components. A macro-scaled modular cellular pattern emerges through
symmetry that is infinitely expandable and open-ended while becoming
differentiated at its edges. Ornament functions as a simultaneous
expression of the whole and the part working in dynamic equilibrium.
‘Minimal Complexity’ was exhibited for three months as part of
Constructing Realities Exhibition at the ARUP Phase2 Gallery in London
in summer 2010. Additionally, Vlad presented a paper entitled ‘Minimal
Surfaces as Self-Organising Systems’ at the ACADIA Conference which took
place at the Cooper Union in New York in October 2010.
Vlad is involved in teaching at the Bartlett as an assistant for the
Embodied and Embedded Technologies module within the Msc AAC. HIs
professional experience covers a wide range of projects and
competitions. Currently Vlad is working with Surface Architects, an
award winning design practice based in London.
