Since every object is successively transformed according to three pervasive sizes (small, medium and large), the most basic three-dimensional figure (i.e. a cube) becomes twenty-seven variations of volume and direction. As the figure becomes more complex, the resulting series of transformation increases proportionally. Hereafter, a figure defined by four factors produces eighty-one variations. A figure with five factors, two hundred and forty-three. The one presented here, with an outline described by six factors, results in seven hundred and twenty-nine variations. In order to highlight the individuality of each building, a seemingly random combination of eighty-one different colors separate its continuous surface into planes. If the figure would be a sign, it would be pointing towards itself. Tower and plinth, and everything else in between.
