Reconstruction is explored further in the formulation of architectural elements that are implied through a composition of parts. The previous diagrammatic construct study suggested a massing of parts at the scale of the building. This series zooms into architectural elements to investigate the scalelessness of the gestalt. An aperture, opening, room, wall and staircase are represented as implicit entities in space as a result of a specific composition of elements. Each ‘whole’ is more than the sum of the individual parts because it is dependent on the specific form and proximity of all the parts to each other.

The series is presented as two images per element. One image shows the implicit nature of the element while the second image shows a spatial condition achieved as a result of the implication. Light and shadow interact with the constructs to help enhance the space achieved in each composition. For example, an aperture can be more than a singe-function element and perhaps enhance the architecture beyond its physical boundaries. By taking qualities of a gestalt architecture and seeing how they may play out at the scale of the architectural element, a spatial richness and sense of place can manifest itself at a multitude of scales.
