Combinations

Goldberg Concept:

• Architecture ultimately suffers from the dynamic conflict between the ideals of the architect and the demands of the client. However, through compromise and resolutions a greater piece can be developed which satisfies the desire of both parties.

Gang Concept:

• The notion that form and practicality act in opposition is not only untrue but rather paradoxical. It are these two ideals, although distinctive and obtuse, that adhere together to produce a thrilling and beautiful piece.

The Combination of Rectilinear and Curvilinear Form

The interweaving of these two concepts created dynamic pieces that did produce a wonderful rhythm inherent in the dynamic conflict between the architect and the client as well as between form and practicality. The resulting themes were:

• Conflict inspires a transcending beauty in a piece.
• Antiquity is the ultimate obstacle that good architecture conquers. This notion is carried by the continuously evolving demands of the client requiring an impossible series of continuous alterations to a site and the role of decay in the conflict between practicality and form.
• Harmony is necessary to create enticing architecture.
