“This analysis attempts to demonstrate a higher mode of transformational thinking about architectural and geometric part-to-whole relationships that is not dependent solely on attributes of material plasticity for its legibility.
This manner of thinking suggests a temporal and intellectual animation, wherein discrete and legible bodies partake in a continuous recalibration of metrics and relationships to comprise various instances of continuity - sometimes smooth and sometimes not.”

“What is a joint or rather, what is a part?
Joints are as much sculptural as they are architectural, and for some, the expression of an inner force. This joint type could be called animated, and the combined result of the invisible and the animated joint is that the actual number of parts and the apparent number of parts are not the same.”
