equilibrium

a study on shapes

July 2023

At its core, equilibrium represents a state of balance and stability where opposing forces or factors are in perfect harmony. Whether it is the counteracting forces of gravity and upward force in physics or the delicate balance between supply and demand in economics, equilibrium is essential for understanding the dynamics of a system. Similarly, concrete, as a building material, relies on a state of equilibrium to ensure strength and durability. The mixture of cement, aggregates, and water in concrete creates a chemical reaction that eventually sets and hardens into a solid structure. It is through the careful manipulation of this equilibrium that architects and engineers can shape magnificent structures that stand the test of time.
