Calculated Pull
Christina Ciardullo & Naomi Ocko

Upon graduating with distinction from the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation at Columbia University, Christina Ciardullo and Naomi Ocko began collaborative research to explore their combined interest in fields, networks, systems, circulation, and tension. This experiment is one in a line of attempts to make material the space of these concepts – to produce a system of order and tension in architecture.
