"Torus" Wolf House No. 2 Project

"Torus" Wolf House No. 2 Project

Preston Scott Cohen
American, born 1961
1999
A digital Duraflex print of an architectural rendering by Preston Scott Cohen that imagines a proposed Wolf House interior as a sculptural experiment in curved, torus-like volumes that rethinks domestic space.
The image feels like a pale, almost clinical room where soft, bulbous walls and a central floating mass melt into one another, punctured by thin vertical supports and glass partitions so that scale and function remain elegantly ambiguous.
The work marks a moment when digital visualization became a generative tool for architects—using computationally derived forms and images to propose new kinds of spatial experience and to make persuasive, sculptural ideas visible.
