A coherent, non-uniform, thick-skin system. This articulated architectural enclosure serves as the mediator between inside and outside, the primal and necessary layer of architectural mediation between interior and exterior.
This study begins with two parallel approaches:
Skin.
It manifests as a study and manipulation of a textural system, considers enclosure as a surface, which is articulated via subdivision, producing an architectural skin.
Bone.
It considers enclosure as density which is articulated via aggregation, producing an architectural lattice.
These two parallel tracks come together and begin to be synthesized and form the basis of the design of an architectural enclosure.
