The nine-square grid form draws from Palladian proportion and modernist reduction, yet subverts by embedding erosion into the design, breaking from permanence.

Built from sun-dried adobe, the structure is part of the land, not placed on it. It welcomes cracking, settling, and disintegration as signs of participation.

It draws from indigenous and permacultural building practices, where form is shaped in dialogue with local climate, materials, and time.

Influenced by thinkers such as Flusser and Munger, the work questions the apparatus of visibility and functionality.

The structure takes the form of the “#” symbol, alternately known as a hashtag, pound sign, or even a tic-tac-toe board, each term revealing something different about its cultural weight, from speed to structure and play.

As a hashtag, the symbol references the speed of communication and collective visibility in digital culture. Here it is unplugged and returned to soil, becoming a slow-decaying marker.

As a pound sign, it evokes systems of weight, measurement, and coded information. Now function dissolves into matter.

As a tic-tac-toe grid, it suggests structure without outcome, an unfinished game, a symbolic framework.
