Over the past five years, during the course of his travels in the former Soviet Union, French photographer Frederic Chaubin has documented an extensive collection of startling architectural artifacts born during the last two decades of the Cold War.

At the moment, technology as a mode of perception is still very limited, it serves mainly as a reductionist force, defining and describing the environment in terms of utility and basic purposes. With this project we are trying to illustrate that the transformative aspect of technology could provide a means of seeing beyond the concrete, that technology can be used to poetically reveal new aspects of our environment. In this case we have taken 'air' as an object of technological revelation,...

The structure of the missile silo itself reveals that it is a product of a curious, inverted reasoning: the silo is thickest at its top, becoming thinner as it goes deeper into the earth. Yet we know that all structures built in the earth's gravity, even those underground, endure the greatest stresses at their bottoms. It is only the fear of attack from above that justifies this unusual manner of building. And so the peculiar inversion again becomes evident--the sky, the source of...

This proposal suggests that the site of this contemporary ruin be excavated and transformed to commemorate a perpetual present. The excavation is limited to two gestures: first, a slot is cut into the earth in which a stair travels from the surface again. The slot allows light and people to exist in the silo in unanticipated ways. Secondly, two thirds of the way down, the stair widens to reveal a quarter of the silo's form and to expose the tunnel (to the Launch Control Center) in the air as a...
