The Tem­po­ral Ten­ancy instal­la­tion is a pro­to­type for a rapidly cus­tomiz­able method of mak­ing.  This method employs robot­i­cally hot-wire cut EPS foam blocks with a race­way to allow for post ten­sion­ing.  These blocks are not per­ma­nently fas­tened together, but rather tem­porar­ily com­pressed by a cable.  When the site requires a dif­fer­ent func­tion, size, or scale of time, these cables can be released and the blocks will drop with the inten­tion of being recy­cled and pre­pared for their next archi­tec­tural manifestation.

Post-Tension Wall Prototype

This instal­la­tion is an exper­i­ment into rapidly cus­tomiz­able and con­structable mak­ing.  CNC robot­i­cally hotwire cut foam build­ing blocks are strung together with cables.  These cables are tied off to a foun­da­tion and ten­sioned together to erect the enclosure.
