Since we had a little fun talking about Minecraft I thought I'd post a little Minecraft based architecture.<br />

Projects can also get very dedicated in Minecraft as well... <br />

When you are clicked inside your text box, go to the drop down menu called Paragraph (you can access this from Window > Type and Tables > Paragraph) and select center align. You will also find this icon in the top toolbar when you are clicked into the text box. When in doubt, you can always google your question or use the InDesign help!</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Areas of intersection and overlap identified in both the selected artworks and observed at the site are the organizing framework for the proposal. Moments of penetration between otherwise separated spaces create a unified connected experience.</span></span><b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Stephen:</b><br />Through the blurring of perceived boundaries, the visitor’s experience extends beyond the limits of each individual artwork and the proposed architecture. This encourages a reinterpretation of the pieces, their relationship to one another, and their situation within the surrounding urban context </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /><b>James:</b><br />By inserting moments of pause within areas of activity and motion, this proposal creates tiered spaces of obscurity revealed only through exploration and experience. View and anticipation at once disorient and ground the visitor within the structure, and subsequently, the site.</span></span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Zach:</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">This proposal is framed as a series of contrasts, namely:</span></span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">light/shadow</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">overlap/isolation</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">transparent/opaque</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">inside/outside</span></span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">These opposing conditions encourage movement and awareness of both the natural features on the site, as well as the artworks themselves.</span></span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Mychal:</span></span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Using lines to connect existing site markers, volumes are inscribed that describe a dichotomy of density and dispersion. Manipulations of scale, in addition to the expansive arrangement of the artworks throughout the landscape, create spaces for meandering, discovery, and a shifting understanding one’s own position relative to the surrounding environment.</span></span><b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></b>Helenahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02434007754891618151noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-158981898957172953.post-85750090039041365552013-12-05T14:15:00.000-05:002013-12-05T14:25:16.637-05:00Presentation Tips - Things to Remember<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">DO<br /><br />- keep your presentations between 5-7 minutes<br />- plan out your presentation both visually and verbally in advance of the review. then do it again. and again...<br />- provide a verbal outline of your presentation to your reviewers (e.g. first I will give you some background on the project, then I will go through my design process, finally I will …)<br />- be succinct, yet clear and comprehensive<br />- face your entire audience, make eye contact with each person from time to time, make sure they are well positioned and that you do not block your work with your body. you should always be facing outward from your work.<br />- think about how will you walk people through the design and the design decisions that led to the final proposal<br />- write and rewrite your concept statement regularly<br />- include site photos if you are working with a physical site<br />- make clear from the beginning what the current state of the design is. point to it if necessary.<br />- be aware if the audience is following your pace of presentation<br />- be honest</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">DON’T<br /><br />- jump around too much from drawing to model to drawing during the presentation. know which drawing you will use to describe the various aspects of your proposal<br />- be self-deprecating -- this makes reviewers uncomfortable<br />- say things that you don’t believe<br />- cite your studio instructor. it is your project. you own it.<br />- say “I was playing with…”<br />- say “I didn’t want to do ____” or “I wanted this to do ____”<br />- say “I was playing around with…”</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">- say “I kinda liked how…<br />- say “I thought it was fun to play with...”</span></span>Helenahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02434007754891618151noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-158981898957172953.post-10916537711808298332013-12-04T21:08:00.002-05:002013-12-04T21:08:37.168-05:00Chichu Art Museum - Tadao Ando<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Here are some links with information about the museum that Sky mentioned in the review last Monday.

for all forms of traffic, noise and even light. From there the
structure should not impose it's presence but it should not also be
obscured itself. In many ways the <span style="background-color: white;">structure</span> should <span style="background-color: white;">communicate</span> its <span style="background-color: white;">contents</span> and goals <span style="background-color: white;">before</span> a person becomes an occupant.<br />
<br />
Areas containing the art pieces are segregated from another allowing for each piece to be individually viewed. In addition no art piece area exits or enters from another art piece. The roof plan forms a fifth elevation that is a composition viewable from buildings above. The space that is the intersection of the three art works creates the essence of the three art works.James_MIchaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15954179736218201851noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-158981898957172953.post-29571738663014856352013-11-25T14:40:00.002-05:002013-11-25T14:40:44.055-05:00Revised Concept StatementLight/shadow<br />

In doing so, the art will, at times, act as a lens through which one can experience the art of nature and society. Too, the design of the space shall extend beyond its perceived exterior limits. Keeping in line with Gego's ideal that the line should <i>be</i> the art piece, the linear elements defining thresholds is definitive of the art of this architectural piece.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01678766118945479075noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-158981898957172953.post-87677312735553729102013-11-23T18:43:00.002-05:002013-11-25T11:55:08.368-05:00Pointless DiagramsHi guys,<br />
<br />
I found a blog that's pretty cool: a compilation of diagrammatic doodles that do not necessarily have any kind of application.<br />

My son's drawing of "Transportation" I thought it was actually a great way of communicating a verb, rather than a noun. <br />
<br />
I have read that girls are often pegged as good artists earlier because their drawings are recognizable by their teachers. That is because girls often draw nouns and boys tend to draw verbs. With most preschool teachers being women, the boys artwork is often not understood. Just an interesting insight into how different people and groups see the world differently.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14649757580018790899noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-158981898957172953.post-79943538016791467212013-11-17T19:32:00.002-05:002013-11-17T19:34:48.684-05:00Project III - Final Requirements<div dir="ltr" id="docs-internal-guid--6358604-689f-656c-9f54-f74cea743b27" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: -36pt;">

The ideal is to address the junction of the two streets which create a critical corner of both <span style="background-color: yellow;">view</span> and <span style="background-color: yellow;">motion</span> for all forms of traffic, noise and even light. From there the structure should not impose it's presence but it should not also be obscured itself.

This design is to employ the sweeping sensation of Timber with the border defying characteristics of Square Bisected by Curve. In addition, like Sphere No. 4, the structure itself should act as a lense through which art may be experienced. I am interested in utilizing the site to bridge the serenity of the residential neighborhood with the dynamism of the main street, and integrating the landscape with the site plan, so as to create open public space amidst a neighborhood of walls and boundaries. <br />

Your concept statement should be pithy and succinct, yet abstract and able to adapt to many design moves.</span>Helenahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02434007754891618151noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-158981898957172953.post-16596367435518323172013-11-11T17:00:00.002-05:002013-11-11T17:00:48.240-05:00Thought this was cool...<a href="http://www.spoon-tamago.com/2013/10/23/6-months-of-tonal-vibrations-of-tchaikovskys-swan-lake-expressed-in-crystal/">http://www.spoon-tamago.com/2013/10/23/6-months-of-tonal-vibrations-of-tchaikovskys-swan-lake-expressed-in-crystal/</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17428027429356927895noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-158981898957172953.post-33806994506231989092013-11-10T14:08:00.000-05:002013-11-10T14:08:25.761-05:00Project III - Exercise 06<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<br />
Exercise 06 due Monday November 11:<br />
<br />
• Working from the studies you generated for today, create at least 6 design proposals. For each proposal, build a 1/16” = 1’-0” model. Model through a combination of iteration and variation. Use your site model for context and insert your models into this site for evaluation. Model with material that is expedient, but consistent with your thoughts about how the program (art), circulation, site, and other researched factors work together.<br />
<br />
• For each scheme, create a series of sketches (plans, sections, diagrams, perspectives) which show how the massing influences or reacts to site conditions. The type of drawing you create will vary depending on the information you are trying to communicate. Take some time to think about what type of drawing best describes the conditions you are interested in. These can be drafted or done freehand. The important thing is to work through and communicate your concept. Consider circulation, sequence and views.</div>
