Porosity & Richard Goodwin



Porosity Studio est. 1996

Ancient Chinese scholars were fascinated with porous rocks that became known as 'scholar rocks'. The more richly porous the structures were, balancing air with mass, the more valuable they became.

The 'Sierpensky Sponge', a theoretical cube which is infinitely porous and hence: 'more than a surface, less than a volume'
(Ursprung, Phillip. (2003) p. 487)

Porosity: The revision of public space in a city using public art to test the functional boundaries of built form.

The vision of the city as a landscape, which responds to the nomadic movements of the pedestrian. Porosity research will map nomadic space and overlay it with sendentary space.
