Iteration 24: Cross Section
Ornamental Structure
Origins
This project aimed to overcome the divide between ornament and structure by designing an ‘ornamental structure’: the ornament performs and becomes the edifice. The project produced a style of ornament that is not simply embellishment, but superfluity that is integral to form. As the structure was adorned with ornaments, the more stable it became. The form fused ornament as structure to achieve maximal articulation of the designed surface.
