More specifically within the context of modernism it is easy to see the most radical formulations attempting to erase one of these two terms, with the architectural ornament, or perhaps better stated the ornamental, becoming almost entirely subjugated by structure and "honesty" of expressions. The fundamental goal of this studio is to seek new architectural potential out of a rethinking of the status of ornament given the tools and techniques we have at our disposal as designers today.
