What does it mean to travel through space?

These thoughts are not mine but from those blindfolded and asked about information. These recordings have become very popular, even becoming a part of the sub-pop culture.

"I picture like an illuminated manuscript, ya know... you'd have to have them hand done... each time" (stammering) like change depending on what mood your in... like the best...or depending on like when you listen from a different age... could mean somethin' different"

"I don't like it when they change "....it....frightens me"

"you want them to stay the same"

"It makes me feel like someones pushing me from below...tryin' to put me... turn me over and put me down" "that's what it makes me feel like when they change."

"it has to tell you how to live... it (stammering) has, is an instruction guide. Subtle. It doesn't push. It nudges. It entices..or suduces. It has to encompass the whole scenario. Everything that has been. That is. And will be."

"AND could take it into space. And that's why you build a space ship. Because ultimately that's what space travel is all about. Was sending up ships from earth into space. And not just in some space shuttle thats got all the foam comming off of it. You need your own, glowing, ya know multi-colored.... space ship. It would be inside the space ship and.. the space ship. You know what I'm saying?

Like an exoskeleton.

Information is an exoskeleton"

Thoughts from my not so spring "break!"

While on my "break" I jotted down somethings that could help from the review that we had to better clarify possibly some of the context in which my project envelops.

Material and Form in a Temporal Intervention

Recreation of Movement|Visions in Motion

The recreation of movement is interpreted in Herbert Matter’s photographs as “virtual volumes,” they create a space that is not logically identified until there is a interaction between the onlooker and the object. Also insisted upon as a mobile sculpture, also the “ material is utilized not in its mass but as a carrier of movement. To the three dimensions of volume the forth, the time element, movement is added.” This is a great addition to the study that I am doing it has so much relativity now just implementing it.

primary vs. secondary

particularly fascinating about colors is the effect two colors [a primary and secondary] have on eachother.

Making New Materials

In efforts to please the architecture gods and will, i thought what else can concrete become? can it become a material that is soft? can concrete be fun? does it have to be heavy and static? does it have to smell like concrete?

12 samples. some instantly dryed, some are drying, some might not dry, some smell weird, one looks like it is swelling and will hopefully explode. lol

Changing Luminence

Believe it or not, the other renders are still going 24+ hours later, but this one finished fairly quickly.

This past week I've been experimenting with the effects of layering materials to help create panels that change not only based on your position, but also change color based on the angle light hits them. (for example, see last post)


Full image (link)

i will be posting additional images as they complete- hopefully the ones with the atrium as the context. rendering these is difficult even for the new Macs. from here on i have been working on the actual connections to the floor- seating arrangements, and more. I plan on addressing the following problems:

-occupancy
-power
-and of course, information
