Concept: Given the architectural challenge of investigating relationships between surface flatness and three-dimensional volume, the 'Proun' by the Russian Constructivist, El Lissitsky informs the design. In particular, his painting, "Story of a Square" was used heuristically for an imagined ‘dialogue’ that explores movement, sequence, surface and figure. The narrative agent, in this case a ‘metal box’ reappears in different orientations through a series of overlapping volumes of space and surfaces, transforming the sensorial field and phenomena of experience.

Materials include plasma etched steel, cast glass and walnut woodwork throughout. Rigorous detailing resulted in a taut simplicity of space, material and form, not unlike the deceptive simplicity of El Lissitsky’s Proun.
