Ichnography

...Men came back and found the traces of formlessness. After devastation, Form could Be. She took body where formlessness used to exist and became a sanctuary in her name. But formlessness's footprint was still there, so do its reflection over the Body of Form. Still is unknown if Form can become absolute in the world as the perceive it, but they have the little world where Form Is, and there She is pure.

Program and purpose: The creation of little worlds of emptiness. Sanctuaries of Form within the city. Singularity or plurality of them yet to be decided. They have a stretch relation with the city, which I still can't define, represented by the reflection of the city on the dome. They are a neccesity of the city in the sense of abstraction, the need of enclosed emptiness. Reference in Nolli plan of Rome.

The embrionary idea is to represent this as a plate 45x45 where the traces of formlesness are printed on paper and the little world is the dome (a smaller plastic dome, about 15cm dia) where formlessness is reflected (the little skyline in the border of the sphere).

I think I am giving meaning to the rebrief in 2 ways: 

1. the content of the plates telling the ideas about Form.

2. the format or container of the plates showing the idea of little worlds.

What I want to do is swich roles, now the container (the dome) becomes the content.

The buildings I am looking at bring the ideas of ennclosed little worlds of emptiness where only form is important, so with this new plate I am basically translating the idea of "little worlds" carried through the format of the plates to the concept of the project (the making fo little worlds) and the content of the plates will be the process of the project, the "giver" of Form. Yes, confusing...

Thanks Tijn and Patrick for the good ideas!
