Tectonic studies are employed in order to explore and test the emergence of architectural language to be used in the design of building elements with constraints independent of program or site.




The individual building elements are developed consequentially from a reading of a chosen precedent study – in this instance, the Munster City Library by Bolles+Wilson Architects – to produce an evolving tectonic which operates as an interplay between thick and thin elements, experimenting with manipulation of perceived weight and solid form by controlling it under a planar language of folded pieces.
