Abstract
The fundamental premise for this project was the desire to explore one of my fascinations with "movement" of space and “movement” of structure. This was somewhat a reaction to “static” boxed structures which have pervaded our eastern cities for the last few decades, and moreover, a want to inspire life into a fixed object.
The work presented was a process of discovery, the most enlightening being that of "contrast". It became the key to achieve meaning
My original intentions combined with changes experienced over time have resulted in a building, but better, in a transformation and another new place from which to begin.
