Any architectural object is situated between the qualitative and quantitative poles. A serial repetition of objects in space is necessarily the most minimal interpretation of the dynamics of temporal passage - particularly when it refers to the metaphysical notions of identity and change. The full significance of these nine ziggurats emerges when the serial logic is fully grasped as a progressive tension between the parts and the whole – understood as the contingent sum of compositional units. What emerges is a type of dynamic and open-ended Gestalt marked by the relation between the unity, the series, the whole, and the process which calculated the confluences and divergences between the various objects.
