“Constants of Connection”

“Constants of Connection” explore the interconnectedness within complex systems, where structure becomes a metaphor for both physical and social spaces. These multi-layered grids symbolize the order that emerges from chaos through constant and immutable connections between elements. Each configuration reveals tension between stability and change: while the architectural forms remain constant, their potential rearrangements point to endless variations in interactions.

These structures embody the idea that all forms of relationships—whether between people or elements of any system—are built on constant principles that ensure integrity, even in times of transformation. The metallic grids demonstrate how every connection supports the stability of the whole system, and when one element changes or is removed, the structure adapts to find a new equilibrium.

The central emptiness within the structure plays a crucial role in the concept. It symbolizes a space for potential—an opening where new ideas, connections, and meanings can emerge. This void is not absence but possibility, allowing the system to evolve. It can be seen as a metaphor for human relationships, where personal space is essential for the authenticity of connections.

Each individual structure reflects a fractal principle: smaller parts replicate the form of the whole, and each connection within the grid mirrors the structure of the entire system. This serves as an allegory for human relationships and social structures, where every interaction resonates at a larger scale. The construction acts as a model for understanding how individuality can coexist with harmony within a system.

The project also delves into the dialectic between controlled and spontaneous connections. The metallic grids express a desire for control and structure, but their openness suggests the inevitability of change and adaptation. Those interacting with the structure are compelled to accept that not all connections can be controlled—chaos itself can become part of a new order.

“Constants of Connection” metaphorically express stability and change in a world where nothing remains the same. The project demonstrates that it is the connections between elements that create resilience in systems, even as individual elements undergo transformation. The grid symbolizes the architecture of relationships, where each connection becomes a constant, and the structure itself remains an open process, capable of adapting and evolving through change.
