Felipe Pantone Argentine-Spanish, b. 1986

Casa Variable Floor Plan 1 is a print that bridges architectural drafting and digital abstraction. The work overlays precise floorplan schematics with Felipe Pantone’s distinctive visual language—sharp black-and-white op-art lines, pixel gradients, and chromatic disruptions. The diagrammatic basis of the composition is enhanced by geometric distortions, color wheels, and optical plays, destabilizing the perception of what is usually a functional document.

This editioned print, produced in collaboration with designer Pablo Limón, was created for Pantone’s Casa Variable project, a bold experimental residency/exhibition that explored modularity, motion, and perception through art and design.

Pantone's Casa Variable Floor Plan 1 exemplifies his capacity to fuse form and information, aesthetics and data. The piece uses the traditional format of architectural plans not only as a support but as a conceptual starting point. In doing so, it collapses the distinction between construction and representation, between rationalism and sensory experience.

By manipulating the visual codes of digital culture—glitch effects, RGB gradients, scanner distortions—Pantone injects instability into the very heart of architectural logic. The layout, while technically “readable,” is deformed by optical interventions that evoke speed, transformation, and transience.

This tension between fixed space and fluid image lies at the core of Pantone’s practice. As part of the Casa Variable project, this floor plan becomes more than a document: it is an aesthetic manifesto, proposing that living space itself might evolve into a dynamic, responsive, and ever-shifting medium.
