Frances muses... Every existent object in the natural world is reported by science to be tethered by the physical laws of gravity, from microscopic atoms to macroscopic stars, although this disposed tethering may not entail that each object is rigidly limited by the physical laws of gravity in regard to its potential evolution. It may be however that a good theory of architecture must consider all the laws of nature and all the laws of science with at least some consideration for the conditions of gravity, even if the tectonic product is situated in contexts with a low gravitational pull where safety is not an urgent concern. It is furthermore assumed by me that the laws of nature and the laws science that would govern architecture are objective phenomenal constructs that are discovered by humans and not arbitrarily invented by them. In any event, humans are naturally driven to gravitate towards making nice things for its own sake; therefore architecture must adhere to the dispositional tendencies of humans.
William wrote in effect... Architecture has a master it must always heed: gravity. What natural laws limit all the other arts?
