"Architecture or Revolution.
Revolution can be avoided."
_Le Corbusier
"From birth, man carries the weight of gravity on his shoulders. He is bolted to earth. But man has only to sink beneath the surface and he is free, Buoyed by water, he can fly in any direction-up, down, sideways-by merely flipping his hand. Under water, man becomes an archangel." _Jacques-Yves Cousteau
Architecture with no gravity and no ground plane is similar to the transformation of the Baroque when Piranesi etched spaces with no hierarchy and no narrative explaining the order of the space; rethinking how form is ordered. Water not only transforms the way we move in space but the way we percieve distance and sound. Form in Hydrospace is created by different forces and has no relation to a ground plane or horizon.
