The Butterfly Effect

The Butterfly Effect represents chaos within a system. It encapsulates the concept of sensitive dependence on initial conditions. Small differences of a dynamical system may produce large variations in the behavior of the system. The idea: although a butterfly flapping its wings has remained constant in the expression, the location of the butterfly, the consequences and the location of the consequences may vary widely. The concept relates to the timber-framed system because each beam is dependent on another to remain sustained and a slight change in the joinery of the beam effects the system as a whole.

Salt Maker House

Concrete. The one word that was the driving force for my Salt Maker's house. The idea is a house whose structure, interior and exterior space, and beauty is determined by concrete's ability to extrude from the surface and create the space to be occupied.
