This full scale installation spawned from the idea that one could reconstitute an architectural element within a space to produce a new structure that provides enclosure. When one thinks of the reconstitution of elements within a space, one could imagine the non-symbiotic relationship between a host and parasite. The architectural column, which supports all of the forces of built structure upon it, acts as an anchor for the parasitic arch that hangs from it. The large concrete wings of the arch were poured in place with cables running through them. These cable were then bolted into the host column. When each section of the arch was peeled away from the column, its reliance on its host became apparent. The resulting space allows one to observe how the column plays a vital role in supporting the heavy masses used to create space.
