Bubble Vector Diagrams + Site Plan : Studying the surface tension on a bubble as a precedent for the tensile relationship of sound on the site, I drew vector diagrams of the forces acting on the bubble both inside and out. Looking to the site, the plan drawing revealed the same pattern of tension between the acoustics of Interstate-270 and the Chain of Rocks. This led to the programmatic design of the observatory.
