the concept- implantation

the displayed site is compared to a vacant uterus of the city's body. implantation time has come.

THE FORMATION OF A FROG EMBRYO

The embryo starts as a ball of cells. The ball splits down the middle. An axis is introduced. The wholeness of each stage is consistent with the wholeness of the previous stage. The centers which exist in the wholeness at each stage --both large centers dominating the big pattern, and small ones locally-- are largely left intact by the next transformation. The next transformation introduces new structures, usually in the form of new asymmetrically place local symmetries which induce new layers of structure --hence a new differentiation-– but rarely or never disperse the underlying deep structure of the old, even when it changes things.

the tool-resolutioning

Like every living organism the systems grows up through an evolutionary process, which means that the wholeness of each stage is consistent with the wholeness of the previous stage.
We thought that we need a big pattern with large centers and small ones, locally. Each transformation introduces new structures.
Thus, we can call this tool “resolutioning”.

The “resolutioning” tool produces qualities such as condensing, rarefaction, erosion, partition, diffusion; coiling and stretching that already kind of exist in cities.

inputs/outputs

seeking for a system

Επιχειρείται η αντιμετώπιση του εγχειρήματος ανασυγκρότησης του συγκεκριμένου τόπου όχι σαν αποφάση ή αποφάσεις και ενέργειες στιγμής, αλλά σαν μια εξελικτική διαδικασία που ολοκληρώνεται, αν ολοκληρώνεται ποτέ, σε βάθος χρόνου. Επομένως, δεν αναζητείται μια τελική μορφή, αλλά ένα σύστημα και οι κανόνες που το διέπουν. Οι εσωτερικοί κανόνες του συτήματος πρόκειται να διαδράσουν με τα εξωτερκά δεδομένα της περιοχής (inputs) και αν μας δώσουν τα τελικά αποτελέσματα.

The design aims to enterprise the reformation of the particular site not as instant decisions or actions but just like evolutionary process integrated with time parameters. We don’t seek for a final morph, but for a system and its rules. The internal rules of the system incorporate with the inputs (current regional data) to calculate the outputs.
