st be an extraordinary, unusual, incredible, unbelievable, one
of a
kind, particular, weird, never-seen-before ...... The list of
adjectives and phrases describing this construction could be endless,
however none of these words would characterize it properly. Maybe
except for two words: volatile and ephemeral. Maybe.
Maybe these words could be the right words, provided that any words
can be the proper words; words are never proper, words can only
destroy, deform, distort.... OK then, let it be volatile,
ephemeral....
Imagine then a huge space
truss. As vast as a football pitch. Even more vast. Much bigger.
Maybe as big as the meadow I can see right now through the truss of
leafless branches and twigs. And a supple one. Not a stiff one.
Bending and undulating ....... Well, maybe a stiff one? Whatever it
would be like, it would be transparent. Totally transparent, but
visible. Clearly visible, so to give us a chance to see all joints,
members, crossings. It-is-but-looks-as-if-it-is-not...
Like a flying carpet which
has stopped and hovers right above our heads. A flying roof which is
hovering, but is not hanging, since there are no ropes, no strings,
no invisible threads, nothing like that. It is just HOVERING.
A self-supporting structure. A self-hanging structure. A
self-hovering construction. No pillars. No lines. No propellers.
