Parametric Design’s New Twist On Gothic Architecture!
Belgian artist Wim Delvoye’s “pieces, like “Suppo (scale model 1:2)” (2010), an upright, slender, spiraling Gothic tower, not only recreate but also further dramatize historical architectural forms with the precision afforded by 21st-century technology.
