In order to genera te an ideal structure, we experimented with different codes and methods to see which would give us a shape that was both natural, but feasible to make with wires.

We also experimented with different base curves to see which would rise to produce the mos t suitable structure. We discovered that the distance between opposing sides of the cloud would affect the height at which the final structure was generated.

I w a n t ed t o e x p lo r e it a s a structure, a feel ing, a state of mind.

Carrying the weight of a city over one’s head - What weighs on our minds when we make decisions?
Imagination - Where do we get inspiration to dream up such majestic structures?
Considering roofs as headgear for houses
Sometimes our roofs fall apart repercussions does this cause? Pretty or protective? What role do roofs play in our lives?
