Uriah Bueller:
My body of work has always explored what draws people to certain places over others, whether in NYC where I was born or in the remote mountains of Colorado where I live now. I use sculpture and architectural forms to filter light and frame space to create adaptable spaces - spaces that people experience and remember. My education can be described as "lateral" since no college or postgraduate degree that I have speaks directly to my commissions or current field of interest. I prefer working with singular materials like aluminum that can be recycled after their life cycle and through projects that have a dual purpose, such as a functional architectural element that requires engineering for safety or has a direct impact on the energy performance of a building by reducing the solar heat gain on the façade or as a shade system on the rooftop. My background has included mentorships with nationally recognized artists such as James Surls and collaborations with Virgil Ortiz and specifications from thousands of architects since 2007 for my work in patterns and perforated screens. I currently am able to study these principles through Parasoleil, the architectural product company I founded to collaborate with developers, city planners, architects, and interior designers to elevate art to an architectural level with dependable, industrial processes.
