concrete ideas
is a material study at the scale of a tile and in the form of a table. Each tile represents a different exploration of concrete through either form, aggregate, cement, and/or shape. The aggregation of this breaks down the scale of the larger table to consider the relationships between it and the objects which are placed on it.
The structure mimics the marriage of steel and concrete. Each tile is supported by intersecting steel rods which run through them. In doing this, the two different systems — steel and concrete —necessarily rely on each other to exist. Without the rods, the tiles would fail, and vice versa.
