veev design: field rupture

‘field rupture’ installation digitally fabricated via laser cutter with sheet metal

‘field rupture’ is a sculptural installation by veev design practice situated in the interior courtyard garden of gillis residence in berkeley hills, california. the ground surface of ‘field rupture’ is overlaid by a topological system, which shifts and pushes up vertically forcing the surface to ‘rupture’. in doing this, the field turns into a figure of two planes exerting force against each other.
