When the first chapter, the bulk of it made sense to me, apart from the segment on pavements. It just seemed sort of out of place as to why pavements would have anything to really do with buildings and architecture. Of course, with the discsussions in class, I was able to underatsdn what the link was and why the author found it necessary to insert that segment into the book/chapter. Having that be the aspect that commanded my attention, I really only ever had the option to respond to the pavements that played off of it.
I went about thinking of pavements are individuals blocks that were joined together to each other by gravity really; the individual pavement bricks might be joined to the ground by cement or adhesive but what maintains the pattern of the bricks is gravity. I wanted to bring the pavement away from this level which is parellel to the ground and create movement within it; something that can never be seen in reality.
Individual strips of cardboard were cut and joined to paper clips with brass fasteners. The paper clips allowed to piece to have movement and the varying number of paper clips on each joint disrupts the regularity of what would be considered pavements. The piece is meant to a very rough look at a conceptual building that has a feature on the exterior that moves with the wind. The cardboard structure to help the figure to stand is standing in for what would be a plain straight building, with the attention focused on the exterior feature.
