thinking of the potential of interaction (whether violent collision or subtle assimilation) between architectural objects with a "sameness" quality (in identity [material] or intention [concept]) and and my fascination with the house as object, the typology of the duplex comes to mind.

1.

how does an external pressure effect the interior?

2.

how does that force then unify or alienate the two formerly separate entities?

3.

these two objects have sameness in identity, my interest is in what characteristics are emphasized when these objects are separated and what occurs when they unify. what operations give them unity?

intertwine: the objects remain as whole and separate, yet upon combine achieve a greater whole. such as threads of rope.

interlock: the objects start off incomplete (as the blurb on image 3. suggests) and achieve wholeness when they plug-in to each other's voided zones

key-in-hole: objects entirely lacking physical sameness, but have conceptual sameness in that the unification of the two brings about a new, third state that becomes the whole.

. . now see that i am fascinated with incomplete entities striving for wholeness; and the operations/evolutions facilitating that intent.
