Designer bares porno wit
By STEVE FRAZIER
Staff Writer
A house designed to help separate a feuding couple and two "pornographic" houses are examples of buildings that present a "raucous horselaugh about the things we do," a Chicago architect said last night.
Stanley Tigerman, speaking on "the in- Architecture," showed slides of buildings he has designed to about 150 people in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union as part of the School of Architecture and Urban Design's lecture series.
Tigerman said that although modern architecture had failed to solve problems presented by decaying cities, most architects still thought of themselves as infallible.
"I'M DIFFERENT—I'm not perfect, and most architects are," he said.
"I've learned to laugh at myself--
everyone else does."
Digerman said one of his favorite projects is the library for the blind and physically handicapped.
He said the building was a study in irrationality, because "blindness is irrational." Special features include a wheelchair-high window that runs the length of the building and rounded, "soft" corners.
"I finally decided to do something that works," Tigerman said. "Frankly, I love this building. It represents things close to time."
"I was really touched by the situation.
There I was, an architect, one who had spent his whole life dealing with sights and shapes, designing a building for the sightless."
TIGERMAN HAS designed only one library, but he said his two pornographic houses had enabled him to "corner the market on plywood storefronts for adult users."
The first of the two projects was a plaillou-
shaped house, now under construction in
"He's a very vulgar man, but so am I," Tigerman said.
Tigerman said he designed the house for Walter Daisy, a terminal cancer victim who was diagnosed with a brain tumor.
"Besides looking like a penis, from one angle the house is also meant to look like the Alamo—which says something about the view." The man made him love *f* to *love even more*.
TIGERMAN'S SECOND pornographic project was the "Zipper House," a townhouse in Evanston, Ill., that resembles
male genitals protruding from a partially opened zipper.
He also designed a house in Hollywood for a vice president of ABC television who wanted to be a teacher.
"They don't get along too well," Tygerman said. "The program there was to design a house to further polarize them so they would do get together, there's a reason for it."
He said the Hollywood house was four stories high, but was sectioned to look eight stories high. A surrealist sculptor is making a statue for the yard, which will enhance the effect.
"It's all metal and glass, and all electric and computerized," Tigerman said. "The
Another house designed by Tigerman was a study in modern coniclets and curves.
"You can walk into a room and say lights' and the lights come on. The funny thing is, you can't say the computer is programmed, you can't say shift and the same thing will happen."
