As director of the prestigious Los Angeles School of Architecture SCI-ARC since 1997, Neil Denari has been developing areas of research, since the mid-1980s, which bring together the varying potential of the technological and industrial world with the world of architecture. Neil Denari is at once an architect, teacher and author of, among other things, books on his own work, which have been acclaimed for the felicitous combination of their content and their graphics ("Interrupted Projections", "Gyroscopic Horizons"), and which simultaneously explore the visual and informational world of advertising, the media, and technology. After building the experimental space of the MA Gallery in Tokyo, Denari is currently at work building the Arlington Museum of Art in Texas, as well as renovating housing in Los Angeles. The technicity of the world is the basic reference of his modular and flexible architecture, with its folding of supple, smooth surfaces, like those of a car. The house appears like a factual body, at once mobile and independent. The inhabitant is the "passenger", permeated by the ebb and flow of globalization. He is in transit in his home, with which he interacts as if in a car or with his computer.
