Elemental Pressure

What keeps the design process moving is the awareness of multi-dimensional pressures being exerted into the solution/design. What is the overall concept? What elements are part of this space? Who should have the loudest voice? Which geometry is the overriding force? As factors such as wall lights, lighting, manholes, planting, seating requirements bend to each other the design evolves through a sequence of connected permutations. The trace overlays tell the story of how loudly the voices speak, how immutable the pressures. The winning solution reflects either stasis – balancing of forces – or the surprise of a new birth, forced into being from unresolved conflicts.
