The Morning Line is a 17-ton aluminium structure, which Matthew Ritchie calls a permeable "anti-pavilion", a ruin and a monument all in one. Its form corresponds with Ritchie's efforts to create a coherent system of signs through art. The plans, sketches and computer animations in this book present 'The Morning Line' as a highly complex structure, its fractal beauty captured in Todd Eberle's stunning photographs. In-depth texts and interviews between Ritchie and the architects involved discuss this "anti-pavilion" as an interdisciplinary piece, somewhere between art, architecture, music, mathematics, cosmology, and science.
