STRUCTURE (noun)
I. ‘The arrangement of and relations between the parts or elements of something complex.’
The ideologies behind structural formations create an atmosphere of being; what once was and what could be. These are the findings from the continuous search of what derived from drawings consisting of line. The line divides and separates, producing space for something to occupy. Even from a two-dimensional drawing we get a sense of space, giving the drawing a sense of the third dimension.
The initial drawings consisted of different variations of line, thus creating forms. The forms created through line, penetrated thoughts of the third dimension. The possibility of these three-dimensional forms awakened through media experimentation.
The production process began in relation to line just as the initial drawings. The spaces created through line on paper were made more apparent as a three-dimensional object. The realization of these objects gave the objects an architectural quality. It is through the increase of the number of objects created and in the way they were created gave the objects a sense of community to the architectural significance of the objects created. The focus of the light on the objects also helps make the third dimension more apparent through creating another void. The shadow of one object on top of the other implied the weight, importance of that object in relation to others.
Cutting, sawing, hammering, drilling; these are all methodologies associated with architectural processes. The use of materials such as wood and metal synchronized with these methods of architectural practice.
Through the use of different materials and processes, exploration of line became more evident by finding ways of connections; as with architectural formations the floor connects to the wall, the wall connects to the ceiling – creating a continuous line. Every part of the object had to connect because connection is the substance of line. A line is not a line if it is not continuous. A drawn line on a piece of paper is considered as a continuous line, as it is connected to the piece of paper, which is connected to the surface and so on. The significance of this is that many objects placed together cannot be seen individually, but as a whole to endeavour its purpose.
