comment It's only a 2D thing but it could also be considered a megastructure. Not in a spatial way though. The Ascii reliefs work with letters and numbers. without a rational semantic concept. Theres just non-sense in the written Letters, only a visual graphic outline.

Though, For me the essence of megastructure is somehow represented by these pictures.... Megastructures are multi-repetitive while a single element is not able to transport a meaning.

But that takes us too far away from content again... However it's another way to deal with the surfaces, the opposite approach to using e.g. photos as textures.

pointofview It's necessary to clear out my own point of view. What is my specific interest that can be used for a narrative in my work?

The following quote points out the repetitive and discomforting quality architecture can sometimes have. But somehow I think that this is one of the major points which can be found in other (medial) forms, in terms of a critical approach- the repetitiveness of things that confines and isolates.

Pp124:

„Take Palladio’s Rotonda. You walk through one of ist axes, and as you cross the central space and reach its other side you find, instead of the hillside landscape, the steps of antoher villa Rotonda, and another and another. And another and another. The incessant repetition at first stimulates some strange desire, but soon becomes sadistic, impossible, violent.

Steep and dangerous staircases, those corridors cosciously made too narrow for crowds, introduce a radical shift from architecture as an object of contemplation to architecture as a perverse instrument of use."

Taken from B. Tschumi: Violence of architecture:
