This linear adaption of the historical cruciform shape highlights the asymmetry of the folly's crosses with its subversion of the typical cross outline. However, it guides the traditional cross shape in its application and dictates the thoroughfare within the folly, integral to its very function as a ceremonious lunch hall.
This modernist interpretation of a pyramid structure seeks to highlight the very background of our conventional structural-truss system that is employed by engineers and architects alike in the support of the buildings they create. This particular application of the texture accentuates the aesthetic attention that the exterior truss network draws, leading students,staff and guests through its provocative mesh to the interior spaces it houses.
The rectilinear presentation of a rotational system evident in this texture articulates the major gyral component of the building; its vertical columns and spiral staircases. Indeed, the texture strikes a delicate balance between the high-technology architecture represented by the mesh web, and the traditionally delicate form of the pillar, that gracefully forms the dual peaks of the grand building
