some sketches for Xicui entertainment center facade in Beijing. New parameters, an old vocabulary, a new one to define, build stretch. At what point do I start to pull? a wall. delimiter of space. interior, exterior. detached. The facade of a building is a series of nodes. Fixed, suspended in space. Each node grants entry to another dimension. A world within a frame. You cannot get too close, but stand too far and you see nothing but a grain of light. a step behind it is gone. Layering of nodes, x,y,z, fluid, dimension, movement. trapped, a frame, structure. can you step out? light darkness, vision obscured, try to see more but cannot. Step out, in. navigate. move. explore. be curious. ask. step inside.
