Dialog Analysis

1) how is dialog created?
using lines and two spaces that are similar.
2) how is a sense of space/place defined?
distance between planes and scale.
3) how is the idea of system generated?
parts of the project, space, & planes.
4) how does the joinery support the project concept/strategies?
the structure and breaking the skewers.
5) how is scale utilized in te project?
equal parts, what type of conversation is being used, & different sizes.
6) how do two-dimensional images add to the understanding of the project?
you can get more detail out of a two-dimensional image than a three-dimensional image sometimes.
7) how did the initial project idea evolve?
using previous ideas to work from and precidents.

Environmental Design

On September 17, 2008 in Environmental Design we split up into groups and critiqued our twig projects. In my group we talked about craft quality and how if something is not crafted just right it can make the project look incomplete. we also talked about how the best way to make and deliver the final project is to try different ideas out. in my group we talked about proportion and how if the proportion is not to scale to the main focus, in this case it is the twelve twigs, then the project will look really bad. we discussed that the twigs needed to have a relationship to each other. when we were in the critique room as a class we discussed how size and scale are related to contrast (color). we also discussed visualization through pattern and form. we talked about how one needs to keep the focus on the essence of the project. Tommy told us that the three ways to join two or more items, which are to join, not join, or to put something in between the items.

2030- John Lynn

in our design theorem class the speaker was John Lynn. John Lynn discussed the 2030 initative. the idea of 2030 is that by the year 2030 there will be no carbon used in building buildings. AIA 2030 have measurable target goals, a bench marked time line. AIA 2030 time line is that they hope that immediately the carbon use in building buildings and in the operation of buildings will be cut in half, then 60% by the year 2010, then 70% by the year 2015, then 80% by the year 2020, then 90% by the year 2025, then 100% by the year 2030. AIA 50>>50 is 50 different ways to reduce carbon use in buildings and in the running of the buildings. we also discussed LEED buildings, which are buildings that are made with the LEED filter in mind. the LEED filter uses solar panels to power buildings as one of the ways to redudce carbon use in buildings.

this is a lot like my project because it is a boquet of flowers

blog of a blog

i liked Tommy Kane's blog because his pictures and drawings were in a way simple but yet in depth at the same time. i really liked his use of colors as well. this is a link to his blog.... http://www.tommykane.blogspot.com/
