Studying architecture as an engaging and ongoing process of change and flexibility through induced material failure and human repair produces site specific and indeterminate conditions. Through empirical testing one is able to develop and manipulate an understanding of an invented construct of frame, material, and tool, that allows functional flexibility within a space over time. When formulating a process that inherently induces flexibility, the response to that flexibility informs sequential stages of development. By continually manipulating a material through forceful actions, then restoring it to the approximation of its original state, a memory begins to emerge through material scarring and conceived repairs. When applying memory to a series of similar materials, there is sensitive dependency on individual conditions that continuously distinguish one from another over an indefinite period of time.
