The more conventional antonyms such as freedom and restriction, rough and smooth, flat and pitched are only come across with difficulty on largely unvisited web sites. These days architects are into cut and paste.
This scheme is a last-ditch attempt to breath new life into old values. An attempt to show the quality of building and living in the 'un-cut' realm between two poles. A call for building between dawn and dusk, for dwelling between an unutterable silence and a deafening tumult.

A plan is born between melancholy and imagination.

Silence reigns. But not deathly silence.
Silence lives, is unutterable, deafening almost.
Silence, as in a Beethoven symphony:
starting with three silent beats.
Silence reigns. But doesn't age.
Silence shimmers, red as fire, or blue as steel.
Silence as in a book by Bordewijk: all skin and bone,
but of a crushing sensibility.

Light too is subjected to silence.
Bright light against the glow of sunset,
flaming torches against the wintry sun.
Reflected light pitted against glare.
Glare erases all the drama,
thoughts turning to St. Augustine: ‘Light shows what is there’.
Vanity pales.
The proud nation dumbfounded.
