The material interpretation in architecture has a reciprocal connection with the physical perspective. However, "matter" definition in philosophy terms is facing the palpable relation with form, early applied to Plato's term "eidos", by witch he identified the permanent reality that makes a thing what it is, opposing to the particulars that are finite and subject to change. Matter is carrying meaning and can only be understood in a specific space, time and cultural environment. The renderization of an environment inside and environment provokes a series of consequences. In Sir John Soanes project, the Bank of England columns grown in an inverse gravidity interacting with the materiality of the room and controlling that speculative degradation repercussion collecting a catalogue of reactions.
