Fields

Architectural projects and artistic researches have explored the potential of isotropic spaces, by definition: territories where the conditions are equally distributed.

In some projects the idea of field is a metaphor, the ever-expanding territory of capital materialized by infinite urban development, in other it is merely a condition, a potential to be explored.
