Pause!!

Leaving for Nicaragua first thing in the morning.  Thesis, its time for a little break.  Helping design the layout for an addition to La Mariposa in Nicaragua, let the fun begin.  New places, new people, new language, new way to think about design and architecture. Whats better than that?

Test for Thesis Presentation Idea


I am thinking about creating a short documentary about my design process to demonstrate edges that are creating between digital media and hand graphics or "pen and paper thinking".  This was just a test of speeding up video.  I normally would have created a model out of some material, photographed it, then projected in onto a white board and continue sketching at a much larger scale.

Progress

ITERATION, ITERATION, ITERATION, its a process.  Unfortunately in architecture there is no way to test whether something works or not without creating it. I am moving into model form to push through the bad iterations and hopefully end up with a decent result for the mid review on Monday.  I have a building theory, now its down to the technicalities of requirement.

Quick Entry

Hopefully this entry will be the start of my recordings for the rest of the semester.  In the next couple months I will document my experience in the Latin American "cluster course" I am currently taking that will travel to Nicaragua at the end of March and is focusing around the theme of Revolution.  The cluster consists of a literature course, a history course, and a humanities course.  While in Nicaragua, I will be a partner in designing a conceptual addition to a language immersion school name, La Mariposa. (More explanation and information to come)  Aside from the cluster and trip abroad I will discuss my senior studio design project and how the two courses may or may not coincide with one another.
