Distance as Form

Herzog and de Meuron — Réservoir Installation

Separation determines relation.

Space defines structure.

Form emerges between elements.

How does form emerge?
Distance is often treated as passive separation, yet it remains active. Spacing does not collapse into gap. What continues is form arising through maintained distance.
