Scoring, Building is a new project by Michelle Jaja Chang that
investigates architecture as an allographic or notational art. The work
is a temporary and durational intervention in the courtyard of the
Mackey Apartments. The project proposes an architectural instantiation
from the basis of a score, written by the architect, which is then
translated into instructions for the construction of the installation
itself.
