Notes #6: The Unit Block

The unit block may be something that needs to curve, and be straight as well. On second thought, it's be better to separate the curves and the straight lines. The unit block can be straight and the unit structure and navigate through curves and straight lines. The unit structure can be 'excited' then 'flawed' at separation points (see. Notes #2: Geometry & Growth). The 'dead' elements are extensions of the unit block, and the 'live' elements (or gardens), are extensions of the unit structure. The dwelling elements are a melange of the two.

Excited
Considering growth, an increase in the amount of unit structures should be considered as something like growth on an agar gel plate, producing an ideal maximum efficiency in construction, where joints become 'simpler' and easier to manufacture. Before the fact, the number of joints should be reduced, leading to a relatively complex construction (ie. creating a square with 7 corners), with thinner unit blocks maybe?

Flawed
Considering overgrowth, there is a refinement of the joints, but a disproportionate number of them, leading to thicker unit blocks and dead elements.
