The Concepts Re-Worked

Of the twelve original concepts, there were two that particularly struck me as interesting:

Buckminster Fuller: Simplicity is the true measure of complexity.

Olson Kundig: Architecture is a movement and it transforms its surroundings.

There is something in the directness and accessibility of these statements that makes them appealing and interesting to me. When writing in Architectural Design, the great Dutch artist and architect Lars Spuybroek wrote:

"Why still speak of the real and the virtual, the material and the immaterial? Here these categories are not in opposition, or in some metaphysical disagreement, but more in an electroliquid aggregation, enforcing each other, as in a two part adhesive"

In this spirit, I sought, however clumsily, to fuse the two concepts into one:

By transforming their surroundings, simple forms, though complex as they are, transcend construction and become architecture.

This is the idea that I will use to develop the basic axonometric form into something hopefully far more compelling.
