anarchitecture

My first question relates to how the artist is constructing teh sculptures. It seems that by stripping away the function of a house, object, or anything, one can simply transform it into a sculpture. It reminds me of Duchamp,s urinal, an the fact that he turned it into a sculpture called the fountain. Thus, my first question is what is this artist that is actually intensely different then that. The combination of sculpture and architecture do not seem like entirely new ideas to me, and i've always some what seen them a going together hand and hand?

My second question is concerned with the statement that that artists sculptures are different because they have a lived bodily experienced via temporal and spacial structures, but after studying site-specificity as well as minimalist forms it seems that most sculpture go through that. OS once again, what is this artist doing that is new or distinct form older forms of sculpture?
