Frame and infill is evident within the structures of the objects. The observer can depict the structural purity of the object’s components and perceive the feel of weight or weightlessness. Observed from its opacity and continuity, the frame and infill strengthens the realization of the object. Depicted through stairs or windows as the common basis of frame and infill tectonics in reality.

Modular and systematic subtractions within frame and infill reveales it’s volume and perceived weightlessness, allowing itself to form a protective enclosure towards the earth, shielding its occupants from nature.

Consisting of earthy forms that supposes an awareness towards the gravitational pull of the ground itself. Or perhaps suggesting a resistance to the forces as shown in a mass that floats within space.
The infill of the system determines it’s defined transparency and density, providing either a secondary sense of structure or a means of connecting to the outside world through it’s usually clear crystalline nature.

Density persists and is further determined by the substance of the frame component. It is this relationship between the frame and infil that we are able to conceive the holistic spaces that transcribe between the interior and exterior zones of perception.

The characteristics of suspension and buoyance is supported by its subtraction of weight. The density of the transpicuous assemblage trancends the gravity of the earth, favouring the spaces above the groundlevel plane.
