36 textures- from light to dark

The green light on non-prismic forms was a false alarm, I then had to find a way to "bend" rather than "break" the rules. The fragmented monument 2 now consists of a large cube which has had half of its mass displaced by another prismic volume, and then a negative prismic void cut into it (this totals 3 blocks). The previous floating pentagonal structure has been replaced by a rectangular block which serves to permit access from the pathway to enter monument 2, via stairs which have been chipped and carved from its surface, as well as small broken fragments which appear to be caught in a suspended "matrix moment"



In my opinion this current model still corresponds with the two original concepts and the"Electroliquid Aggregation":

Architectural originality and futurism can be achieved by breaking rectilinear and euclidean rules of geometry, creating a creative adventure between function and experience. 
+
Individual, unique entities can be arranged to work harmoniously to contribute to a whole.
=
When rectilinear and euclidean rules of geometry are broken to create unique entities, architectural originality and futurism can be achieved. When both the former and latter are presentit is the contrast and transition between them which create an adventure between function and experience.

Monument one appears as a commemorative pinnacle framed by vertically elongated prisms extending towards the heavens. The viewer then descends to monument two, where the linearity is demarcated, bringing one back to the primitive origins of mass and void; the structures which were not machined or manufactured by man but by natural phenomena.

The textures I have chosen to reinforce this idea.
