WHAT: This project is to study diverse spaces as geometry and diverse temporalities as rhythms in the concrete; The body. It is meant explore the alignment of rhythms in repetitive time periods. Over time the sensitive body of landscape goes into a modification process with rhythmic change; so do architectures. The alliance of function and space changes at different speeds and as a result, landscape and architecture fuses and a polyrhythmic or arrhythmic arrangement occurs. The question is how the rhythm of the self and the rhythm of others are oriented and distributed? In other words, how the beating hearts of the body and the connections between these hearts are revealed to disclose the trace of beating over time. This project looks at the architectural translation of the object often contained between the dynamic body and its trace in the world. Imagine a garden with plants made from Alfred Jerry’s anti-matter which is sensitive to very small changes, “change amplifier bodies,” that leave a trace on the timeline, itself and its environment.

WHY: Architecture is not a static object. In other words, an architecture over its life occupies more than a topography, it occupies a timeography, a period over time in which it is affected by forces which alter the body and become in tune with these changes. Architecture does not sublimate only the functional or aesthetic rule it also has ethical function. In its relation to body, to the time, to the work, it literally illustrates life of body.

HOW: A Cymatic Garden works as a model resembling the idea in a system. This garden is a series of pieces that discuss the idea of time, space and geometry as cymatic, mixing an architecture with color light and texture as a time-based garden. Presenting a system of combination of diverse rhythmic objects that are moving constantly under circular and linear external forces in vibration. Each performs in its individual field however synced and in contrast with each other. As a whole, the consequence is that the texture remains constant. Exploring the forces that are in contradiction and resistance with each other distinguishes between the experience of time as a process, as “in-formation,” and as an instrumental notion of time that is “metronomic” or “progressive,” circular or linear. There are four kinds of alignments between rhythms: Arrhythmia, Polyrhythmia, Eurhythmia and Isorhythmia. The Garden resembles these qualitative relations between the components. The external forces are moving ground that devours light, air and water. Using geometric principles, which distinguishes between bordered and infinite space, and diverges significantly from Euclidean principles of transformation, which produced geometric figures that are individually and globally differentiated.
