Michael Hootman
As an architect and designer I have always been fascinated by the
works and writings of R. Buckminster Fuller. He developed and promoted
a way of working that he referred to as experiential mathematics. In
this effort, I had not intended to design a bottle and stopper. It
materialized out of the intuitive exploration of simple geometries and
care free curiosity.
A three fold trinity of rhombic faces (phi:one) generate a second
tier of intersecting rhombi to create a prismatic crown. The
interpenetrating geometries writhe and fall to form a self-same
void; a chamber for the Gorgon antidote.
