This concrete sculpture is part of the series entitled Dichotomies that is made in international symposium of Padideh sculpture in 2014 with dimensions 3*3*3 meter. This series is an interdisciplinary project as both of art and architecture are indispensable part of it. Simplicity and condor with geometrical regularity have paradoxical identity. Plurality beside a homogeneous surface challenges the mind, also passing through a sculpture makes an interaction between human and space. The interaction is a third space that in fact is main concept.

The other interdisciplinary aspect of the project is embedded in its construction and design process by using CAM and CAD. Rhino and Grasshopper as the main software in modeling of this project are affected the process directly. Also for the fabrication of the negative side the CAM is used to extract and make the modulds from chipboard. They are assembled according to the extracted plans in the location, and are casted with concrete.
