This is a project founded in material. Begun with the fundamentals of its capabilities; engaging with a distinct process for generating components; developing systems out of these components; deploying media and representation to confront, challenge and experiment with the formal capabilities; and ultimately deriving form, experience and effect from the collaboration of all of these systems. The methodology comes from an intrinsic dialogue with material-making. This project is an engagement of material geometry and the deployment of these tectonics to generate a light-space experience.

Gail Peter Borden, RA AIA, is principal of the Borden Partnership LLP and an assistant professor of architecture at USC. He has been given awards by the Architecture League of New York, the Chinati Foundation, the Atlantic Center for the Arts, the MacDowell Colony and the Graham Foundation. Borden also received the prestigious Borchard Fellowship.
