Through layers of repetition to forgetting

Archaeological layers erect images of remnants of the past. Through the act of sifting, digging and unearthing, the initial perception of a place is altered and distorted. ‘The task of repetition is important because every new sketch involves an operation of forgetting, and the rules that are generated have their internal coherence.’

By the act of designing through a process of elements through a heterogenous collection of interaction, how do they avoid a collision of tension in design?

By constructing new elements, each element can form patterns of a journey. Each element has its own allegiances heterogeneous collection of a mosaic of interacting. To reject a linear system of thinking produces layers to formulate new ideas. The work of sacred geometry reveals a shift of ideology of geometry. Through sacred geometry countries have generated a meta-language from sets of narratives. By simply rejecting conventional viewpoints and interpreting Miralle and Tagliabue regenerates new meaning through operational drawing to produce a pattern of a new language.

‘It is these patterns of events [which] are always interlocked with certain geometric pattern.’ To produce a harmony of continuum fluidity into a space, Miralle and Tagliabue propositions himself to establishing a lack of hierarchical reading of the drawing. ‘The character of a place then is given to it by the episodes which happen there.’ The dangers of complete work like death keeps us locked into the ‘inner conflict.’ The pattern of death leaves us almost perpetually in a state of tension. The meta-language of a space allows a point of departure only looking at methodologies of a dialogue instead of imposing an idea. When a pattern is alive, it resolves its own force. To create a void allows for the space to design in a contiuumn state. Leaving an operation of unfolding through self-sustaining, self creating and its forces continuously support itself.
