FRAGMENT 1
To “break down” the Fascist building, fragment 1 uses shifting surfaces to create the effect the structure is being dissambled through vibrations.
FRAGMENT 2
To “break down” the Fascist building, fragment 2 uses the idea of “smallness” to break down the “one voice for all” Fascist ideology. This fragment divides the space from one to many.
