objects distinct from objectification / infinite potential inside a single fragment /  in the prestigious decor constructed specifically for this purpose / building as noun and verb is to say that buildings happen / the unexpected afterlives / physical space > translated space > space on the page > space made in the mind /  what cannot be forgotten reappears in dreams / hasard objectif / like getting blood from a stone / passing time <> passage of time / objects within the landscape or in spite of it / 













An object
to address a fundamental
principle of architecture

An object
radiating heat
within an room
to ease its inhabitation

More accurately,

eight types of objects
forming one object
an assembly of objects
radiating heat
to address a fundamental
principle of architecture

An object
to appease the body
taking strain from legs
warming backs of thighs

Or rather,

Two objects
or two assemblies of objects
to appease the body:
a public gesture
at ground floor
and one of care
above

both radiating heat
to address a fundamental
principle of architecture.
