The idea of indifference, estrangement, and ambivalence can be perceived differently by different individuals. To understand the three terms, different formal techniques were represented. Indifference is represented through the materiality, specifically concrete and its staining from weather conditions. By having done so, the material is able to take on physical properties that can not be determined over time. Estrangement utilizes the idea of parasitic forms on the design making it seem foreign. A structural technique takes over the original form making it look unknown. Ambivalence is represented through utilizing hard materiality by making it look soft. Having curves throughout the material will create the illusion that the dense material is able to be easily manipulated.
