Field Notes:

Tracking shots doubled scenes and mirrored sets make buildings behave like unstable characters

Defining Moment:

The projects where a single house or street is revisited from multiple viewpoints forming a structural knot of stories

Hubbard and Birchler built a world where film becomes architecture — scenes looping through mirrored perspectives, dissolving time into constructed memory.

Their works reveal story as spatial structure.

Structural Focus

Time as Material

Duration, aging, fading, accumulation, or delay is integral to the work. Form unfolds rather than presents itself immediately.

In Hubbard / Birchler’s work, this approach appears where narrative is structured through temporal disjunction.

Constructed Surfaces

Surfaces are built through layering, joining, and controlled fabrication.

Systems of Clarity

Order and coherence arise through disciplined systems and constraints.

Atmosphere

Atmosphere accumulates through calibrated light, tone, and spatial pacing.

Space

Space is structured through openings, intervals, and boundary conditions.

Structure

Structure holds the work through rules, joins, and controlled relationships between parts.

Art

Form operates as a site for material, perceptual, and conceptual inquiry.

Contemporary

Current practice engages inherited structures under present conditions.
