COPPER JOINT SYSTEM
by Studio Ponsi
The generating principle to any project is the line, its organizing element is the joint and its completion is the surface. The line breaks up into two directions by means of the joint; two lines became one by means of the joint. The joint is both a finishing and a static point, but also, one of rotation, allowing the line to move through space. Together with the joint, the line builds an object, developing rhythm and geometric forms. Through pure geometric shapes such as the triangle, square and circle, the forms evolve and transform. Thus, spatial symbols or expressions of physical lows, abstract images and figurations are created. The initial project expands and new constructive models begin, almost autonomously, to reproduce themselves. Research therefore becomes the metaphor of an endless story, a journey of countless possibilities for discovery.
