Architecture of Nuances

Our entire journey that is life is made up of a zillion moments; instances; accrued. Every instance, a byte stored somewhere in the nuclei of our mind. When these instances and their experience are combined with an emotion, they become a memory. When we recall these memories of our experiences, we call it nostalgia. Our lives are all interconnected one to another; animate to inanimate; into one large universe of everyone's memories, making all of our histories into one, in a manner of speaking. We build subconsciously, on this palimpsest of historicities, an architecture upon an architecture, building upon a building, where instances are borne as we experience them in some environment; in a place, in a space. Moreover, to make these instances pleasurable, we must build beautiful places and spaces. But our lives, whilst an accrual of instances are defined by nuances; unspoken words, body language, a closed fist , a flutter, a gesture, a breadth, a tone, a glint in the eye; an indication- a nuance. An architecture of nuances: Monumentality represents power. However, what of the power of fragility? The studio intends to look at the architecture of nuances, of the subtle tectonics that make the spatial experience beautiful, resilient, and powerful.
