The project began with a simple interest in the idea that nothing
is static, that in nature there is an element of constant change, a relentless updating of the present condition. The project seeks to investigate architecture as curiously the at most guilty of resisting this inevitable change. From instruments of immortality (the great Pyramids), to monuments of state or individual power, to crystallized utopian skyscrapers in the desert, the history of architecture is filled with examples of buildings that act to assert man’s control over nature, over time, over change.
