TANK WORLDS

Tank Worlds : Miniaturising the Gigantic
Inverting Earth


Boundaries are explored as the container for the repressed: Earth.

Planes>voids become the focus to visualize invisible borders of control. Studying the the container rather than the contained transforms the edges, corners, and surfaces into vessels for the void. Dissolving boundaries in pursuit of exploring interconnectivity challenges the power structures in the image and language of neo-colonial modern architecture theory/method.


Epistemology based on cartesian grids/thought manifest in axonometric space is challenged with the relationship between place/being. Seeking an ontological reunion with Earth as a multidimensional entity, the spirit of micro/macro geospheres attempt to merge the atmospheric with the hydro-spheric and litho-spheric in pursuit of unifying Earth/Architecture. Alchemical elements illustrate flows and opposites. Time is explored as viscous through chrono-visualization that meditates on material state change. Liberating Earth from its container aims to represent the soul in material-ity through the dirt-iness and messiness of scale.
