| We
feel the need to understand flat by flying over it, finding patterns from
a view that is ninety degrees to the plane. Is this intuitive? Is this natural? Flat also seems to be at once both obvious and impossible to grasp from within this structure. The specificity of flat, is just that : “palpable emptiness”. We base our architectural interventions on a rationalized approach whereby content is the analyzed information of the surroundings, read as objects. |
We
are used to reading our surroundings from within a Cartesian structure,
seeing things at ninety degrees, either directly in front, below or above.
Space is defined by the horizontal and the vertical, the plumb and the level.
It is from within this structure that we have negotiated relationships between
surface, volume and mass. Flat seems to be neither. Flat is vast. |
