THE TOWER OF BALANCE - Structure Study “I grew up among carpenters and timber yards. Long before I became an architect, I learned how pieces of wood could support one another through simple acts of placing, overlapping, clamping, fastening, and balancing. The Tower of Balance transforms this knowledge into architecture.” The structure of The Tower of Balance began from this memory of wood. The tower is built from many small pieces of wood. Each piece has its own weight and responsibility. When they are placed together, they begin to support one another. Beams extend beyond columns. Pieces overlap, clamp, and fasten into one another. Bolts and connections remain visible. The tower reveals how it stands. What is usually concealed inside construction becomes the architecture itself. The Tower of Balance demonstrates how many small pieces of wood can work together to create a structure larger than themselves.
