city ubliquity

city ubliquity; challenging the classical relationship between building and ground, creating a continuation of landscape throughout the city. Through the operation of folding oblique surfaces challenge the traditional homogeneity of the stable horizontal ground; interacting with human perception through the continuous relationship with gravity. The exploration of ambiguity between ground and envelope allows the use of surface to become a determinant of space and not merely a wrapping. The continuation of folding surfaces unites space in discontinuity and defines moments of formal space. Whilst the collision of folded surfaces create dissolution between interior and exterior spaces, perforations within the folded mat allow for intense moments of diagonalisation around voids and multilevel adjacent spaces.
