Richter's research strives to reassess the commonly held notion of territory
as an "extension" or "free domain" where architecture
is enrolled for the development of town-planning requirements. Rather
than using the concept of available space to ascertain the prior qualification
of any zone, she substitutes the memory of the events comprising it. The
immediacy of this archaeology constitutes the project's basic material,
in a renewed understanding of the urban approach. Beyond any post-modern
assimilation, this relationship to history is directly material and tectonic,
and it reconstitutes the ground in symbolic sedimentary layers which the
architect then uses as a formal resource. With The Vessel her project
for the Los Angeles Gateway competition, she explored the historical traces
at the site and reconstituted a transparent wall above the motorway, which
became an information panel at night. This game of "retracing"
and "restitution", based on the notion that information is what
qualifies space, is also obvious in Berlin III where tracking down this
type of qualification enables the recomposition and redefinition of the
city. All her architectural projects include this inherent law, positing
a new semantic material which upsets standard project procedures.
