The Archive Andrew Hammer

This thesis explores image sampling as means to investigate the aggregate assembly of diverse architectural objects. The technique allows for not only a critique of homogeneous assembly but also 3 dimensional field and object assembly. An archive of formally compelling objects, materials and textures of various colors and scales, are sampled to create an archive. The latent challenge in the process is the reassembly or re-composition of these objects. Seeking to find an independent judgment system based on unique tectonic assemblies, and formally compelling characteristic. Furthermore finding profound unities, sampled from unbelievably incongruent objects.
