Abstract

I'm focused less on what a building is, or becomes, and more on how we build things. And the critical element which I’m exploring in this ‘how' is love. Which is to say I’m also not proposing a specific methodology for how things should be built, but rather exploring more of a fluctuating and volatile field of relationships and bonds in which we can make things. Which is neither contractural nor formally collective, but a working through, by working on, and being attentive to, our never stable projects of friendship. Because that is the reality which we are always already inescapably a part, and we urgently need to keep thinking about how to work from within that, as uncertain and anxiety-giving as that is. *The project revolves around the construction of a Tower of Love, through a variety of friendships and without building plans.
