Perhaps I've spent too many lazy afternoons engaged with Tony Smith's massive Smoke, studying the black angles and smooth surfaces. Whenever I encounter spaces & rooms as above, I consider the pure joy of solving a puzzle of space and time. A state of stacking, and balance! If a room becomes a puzzle. An empty box, waiting to be filled with mass, volume, structure, and a sky to see the stars above. Welcome to the weekend, warriors, pt 458.
