Archipelagos of the Line

“Archipelagos of the Line” explores the creative genesis of architecture, starting from the most fundamental utility at the architect’s disposal: the line. This speculative approach attempts to tackle the daunting blank page by cataloging the many definitions of the line and the form it creates in or on the landscape. This lexicon serves as a tool to assess form and structure, enabling the creation of individual architectural languages. A line embodies both physicality and metaphor, manifesting paths, barriers, armatures, tethers, or events within each archipelago. Through this endeavor, “Archipelagos of the Line” aims to distill the built environment to its elemental essence, simplifying complexities inherent in architectural creation.
