Inorganic Structures
The Structural Constant
2000 – Present
The investigation of equilibrium within the built environment.
Where Figurative Structures examines how organic form achieves balance under physical constraint—responsive to will yet bound by anatomy and time—Inorganic Structures isolates the same forces within permanent architecture. The built environment functions as structural constant: tension, compression, and spatial relationship fixed in stable configuration.
This series operates as comparative study. Buildings do not contend with temporal limits or anatomical variables. The geometric principle is intrinsic, not achieved through exertion. Equilibrium is not held momentarily but maintained perpetually—the resolution of opposing forces encoded in material and design.
By documenting inorganic form, the work establishes the baseline against which organic equilibrium can be measured. Where the body must continuously adapt to maintain balance, architecture demonstrates balance as permanent state. The contrast reveals what distinguishes living form from built structure: the capacity for transformation, the response to will, the negotiation with constraint.
