This structure explores the use of small diameter elements in the making of architecture. The nomadic, Mongolian yurt (which served as the inspiration for this project) is a structure comprised of a multiplicity of small wooden rods, which when joined together create a sturdy form. Each element of the composition becomes a participant with numerous roles to play: shape, structure, shear, ornament, pattern, history. Arrayed in a circle, the rods become a system which defines a thin enclosure to create a small room which serves as safe haven from the harsh forces of nature outside.

A multiplicity of interlocking structural members also defines a cage – a small room built to contain animals or other specimens from nature. Architecturally, the cage holds a troubled history: the gilded Victorian birdcage is perceived simultaneously as an object of delight and excess; whereas, because of their use in prisons cages serve as a reminder of architecture’s less triumphant concerns.

A cage is a naked, dematerialized surface, the result of the desire to reduce the material presence of the container – whether for the inhabitant’s need for air or to make more visible the contained – while assuring structural certainty of ongoing containment. As the contained body is rarely there of its own accord, a panoptic relationship is created between inside and out, where the roles of the observer and the observed – judgment and judged – are firmly defined. Bodies themselves have also been described as cages – mere biological material which animates but ultimately tethers the ability of the mind or soul to expand beyond its physical limitations. In a cage, all things are animal again.
