Frei Otto, Occupation & Connection Diagrams

The grid has historically proven to be particularly effective field operation, extending a framework accross a vast surface for flexible & changing development over

time. This organisation lends legbility and order to the surface while allowing for the authonomy and individuality of each part, and remaining open to permutations

over time.

Evolving Geometries - Recursion of shapes in various scales

When several of these branchingsystems coexist, their collision results in a certain geometry or boundary

which can resemble that of cracking patterns.

INSTANTS OF URBAN INTERIORITY

I am interested in depicting both urban & interior qualities at the same time within one single space/object/setting. A simple change of the focus creates this ambiguous transitional space between urban

interior, public & private. The photograph represents both the urbanity with its vividness and lively atmosphere, and shows interior qualities, creating this intimate private settingwithin the same space. In a

this photo represents a dialogue between two identical forms, appearing at times monolithic and dynamically translucent, changing over the course of a day.
