My final year diploma explores the construction of a sublunary architecture, an architecture of the night, of wax and wane, death and rebirth on a near monthly cycle, engagingly titled a Piece For Assorted Lunatics. The project reveals in the light and darkness of the phases of the Moon. Resultant architecture compositions are the sum of the interplay of these dark and light realities. The Moon tells a fundamental story of birth, growth, fullness, decay, death and rebirth. Symbolic references of mortality are linked to lunar phases: New Moon, Waxing Crescent, Full Moon, Waning Crescent and the birth of a new Moon. These realms are the basis for a theory of a Sublunary Architecture and its drawn representations. The drawings illustrate the architecture's extraordinary materiality with attendant semiotics and deep connection to the changing angles of the Moon over time.
