The complex relationship between international borders and complex natural resources brings out an important takeaway: Nature can not be divided by legal and artificial segments.

The diagram above represents the border between Gautemala and El Salvador, where the two countries shared Lake Güija, which is "divided" by such arbitrary/non-existent "line".

PRIMITIVES OBJECTS
Finding Spatial Proportions

- The main idea of this exercise is to use Primitives to understand spatial proportions and find hidden relationships to a particular Context/Landscape.

- Two triangular pieces were subtracted from a cube and them multiple incisions were added to add complexity.

- The result is a Matrix which helps to find hidden relationships between the faces of the cube, the cuts, and ultimately the incisions.
