I am curious about the effects of gravity.
At its most elemental, getting up in the morning – indeed being alive, like architecture, is about resisting gravity.
Walls, fences, sand castles, the human body, each becomes more ineffectual and less efficient as they move further from their typical vertical orientation. When compromised by gravity, they need to be propped up, provided with a crutch. Crossing this tipping point from resistance to gravity, they become doubly useless, their essence not only compromised but they become in the way….
