As a material science, crystallography can evaluate typically invisible structural forces at an atomic scale that subsequently give rise to multiple phenomena at much larger scales of visible crystalline form. As a research model, this field of study suggests proactive applications for intricate spatial ordering systems, cations for intricate spatial ordering systems, diffuse structural systems, and nonhierarchical yet coherent spatial organizations that occur naturally in crystalline mineral solids. Consequently, crystallography served as lens for proposing a Greenpoint Media Archive that might also respond to various inflections of site, structure, program and environmental control. Building system proposal attempt to create a diffuse condition of paradoxically solid transparency by integrating continuous pedestrian circuits with a lattice of lightweight composite structural components.
