Episode overview

Vehicle interiors and bodywork are reinforced with ballistic materials and protective glass to create armoured vehicles. Steel frameworks are covered with tightly stretched architectural membranes to form tension-fabric buildings; frames, sliding seats, handles and resistance mechanisms become rowing machines; and small sculptural models are measured and reproduced at monumental scale.
