Abstract

In a previous work I have classified contemporary murals as site-specific art works. This classification evolved through a number of theoretical as well as practical evidences that address murals as integral parts of their architectural settings. To address the issue of site-specificity in murals, I investigated and developed a set of compositional structures through my mural practice that could be applied in the design, execution, and teaching of contemporary mural design. I have developed the notion of a deconstructive method of mural design in which the illusory space of the mural derives its compositional structure from the architectural space in which it is sited. In doing so, I had to contest and argue the traditional materials used in conventional murals in order to develop new methods and techniques that could cope with the notion of deconstruction and also to match the tremendous development achieved in modern architectural styles. Terms like Robotic, Iconic and Interactive Architecture are crucial to be considered in contemporary mural design. This paper endeavors to articulate innovative ideas and techniques in the realm of murals using modern and digital technology to fulfill both site-specificity and congeniality with contemporary architectural styles.
