Dressing The Air is the brainchild of the London-based artist Paul Schütze.

In a career spanning 30 years, Schütze has exhibited his photographic and installation works in galleries and museums around the world, released over thirty albums of original recordings, scored a number of films and performed numerous concerts. He has collaborated with artists such as James Turrell, Josiah McElheny and Isaac Julien and musicians as diverse as Bill Laswell, Raoul Björkenheim, Toshinori Kondo, Lol Coxhill and Jah Wobble.

Dressing The Air is a unique open resource that aims to enrich creative thinking by encouraging a multi-sensory approach. A constantly evolving archive and creative news feed, Dressing The Air monitors and reports on a diverse range of art-forms from cinema to sculpture, painting to furniture design, land-art to perfumery.

The Left-Over-Space House

The Left-Over-Space House

This house by Cox Rayner Architects makes inspired use of a very irregular space, articulating light and space in a beautifully harmonious and sympathetic way. The use of materials creates a wonderfully rich yet elegant palette of colour and texture. By using height and air modulation through ingenious screens and panels the architects embrace the sub tropical conditions of the house's location. While there are clear Japanese references in the carpentry and proportions the overall grammar of the interior proposes new vernacular perfectly suited to the house's context.

"The modernist surface is treated as an abstracted boundary of volume, and has a conceptual rather than sensory essence. these surfaces tend to remain mute, as shape and volume are given priority; form is vocal, whereas matter remains mute."
- Juhani Pallasmaa, 1999, Hapticity and Time
