Some time ago I got interested in possibility of application of St. Thomas Aquinas’s conception in contemporary architecture. Therefore, once searching for scholarly edition of “Summa theological”, I incidentally came across Japanese Tenga Company toy. I was so much impressed by its inner potential, that I couldn’t but buy it.
Having studied five available models, I chose Tenga 3D Polygon as it resembled me Zaha Hadid`s architecture. It wasn’t by chance because Tenga 3D was designed as an abstract sculpture. As far back as K. Malevich conclusively proved, that any abstract sculpture could be regarded as a form of potential architecture.
First, I was attracted and intrigued by its original design. Now parametric design is being widely discussed, but I have never faced such a laconic, poetic and imaginative approach. As if design and function met in harmony, which might be possibly called the principle of fitness for purpose. “Any master, – wrote Angelic Doctor, – aims to arrange his masterpiece in the best way – not in an absolute matter, but according to purpose in hand”.
