Mannequin $82.85 A mannequin (also called manikin, mannikin, dummy, or lay figure) is an often articulated doll used by artists, tailors, dressmakers, and others especially to display or fit clothing. During the 1950s, mannequins were also used in nuclear tests to help illustrate the effects of nuclear weapons on human beings. The term is also used for lifesized dolls with simulated airways used in the teaching of first aid, CPR, and advanced airway management skills such as intubation and for human figures used in computer simulation to model the behaviour of the human body. Mannequin is also used in English in the sense of fashion model. Mannequin comes from the French word mannequin, which had acquired the meaning an artists jointed model, which in turn came from the Middle Dutch word mannekijn, meaning little man, figurine.

Spore Creature: Mannequin (Silent Hill 2)
The Works and Drawings of Walter Pichler
The works and drawings of Walter Pichler, best illustrate the visual representations of the emotions that explore the origin of ideas. In 1963, he issued a manifesto that urged architects to base architectural forms on technology. Later, his works were included in the exhibition of Visionary Architecture (the machine-influenced architectural drawings were the topic of that exhibition), sponsored by the Museum of Modern Art. “Pichler thinks of his drawings as visual representations of past feelings. He produces three types: architectural plans, personal stories, and dreamlike images that relate to spontaneous reveries. Many of his drawings combine all three elements. Carefully drawn in line and color, the plans outline prospective projects that may be rendered again in subsequent drawings, analyzed in small-scale models, or actually constructed.”1 “His more freely drawn images can illustrate stories or depict memories of his past, as in Death of Kurt Schapira, 1976. Some of his images are rich in metaphysical and psychological content, expressing emotions and attitudes even though the specific meaning may be obscure, as in Dog and Cat, 1993. He admits that the scenes in some of these drawings come to him like dreams, saying it all comes from very deep.”2
“The Glass House for the Mobile Figure: View of the Interior of the Glass House, 1981, is a section drawing of a house he designed for one of his sculptures that is now installed at Saint Martin. With carefully ruled pen lines brushed with wash, he presents a clear analysis of the house, with the sculpture- a metal-jointed mannequin called mobile Figure- placed on rafters. Within this carefully constructed study, the artist has drawn a couple making love in the eaves.”3 For Walter Pichler, the inter-connectedness of architecture and art are apparent in his works. He expresses his emotions through the images that he develops. In Pichler’s subconscious, he explores a new world beyond ordinary imagination. His creative works, which often emphasize metaphysics and symbolism, have given artists and designers alike new creative energy. It is clear that the creative aspect of architectural design can never be taught by a formal methodology or by any set of rules. Blindly following the rules of aesthetics can be hazardous in any creative field (in a greater extent in our civilization), creativity can naturally be stimulated by inspiration. From the practical standpoint of architecture, you can tell someone what they should or should not do. However, in the creative realm of architecture, telling someone what they should or should not do will stifle creativity.
Walter Pichler is an architect, sculptor and artist whose drawings and works have been inspirational to many architects and artists.
