Design/Build Masonry Competition 2015

Newark, NJ

The installation explores the relationship between material, geometry and methods of aggregation for masonry construction, as a way of specifying the spatial and tectonic condition of a constructed object.

Using a standard masonry module, the project focuses on how to manipulate the aggregation of that module to create a wall, whose form is disciplined by the unit of construction that constitutes it. The sculptural result of the wall is a consequence of its material and its aggregation proposition.
