continuity
Continuity created by the means of discontinuity. Space is not defined by
functional freedom but by the surface itself. Concave and convex forms are
the attributes that enable spatial differentiation.

checkerboard
The essential default feature of the surface which is flatness is challenged by
the opposite one which is the topological surface. On the initial gridded plan
this is implemented as a distorted grid which can be designated as akin to
checkerboard. This creates more freedom of space usage and gives it more
possibilities.

changing materiality
The notion of flat plan is limited to modeling space only by the organization
of partitions. However, if we add more plasticity to the surface we can see
how the same plan allows for new possibilities. Rigid materiality of the
floor slab is being substituted by a new one. The only which allows
variations, slanting floor/ walls (sometimes one can even tell the difference
between these two). In this way the interaction of users with space becomes
its own program.

what is the open section?

How different is the logic when one contrives the project from section
rather than from the plan? First, to draw the line between the close and
open section we should realize that the former operates in vertical domain
and the latter in horizontal. In my version of this section I create distinct
areas where the section done at point (A) varies from the one taken at (B).
Every spot in these sections are supposed to be disparate. Complex
topological geometry of certain areas of the section (drawn as curves) allow
for convex/concave relationships between the parts. Several cut-outs create
fragmented experience that is eventually montaged and integrated in unified
perception.
