Education, earth, and architecture. Tuesday, September 16, 2008. School Construction in Sierra Leone. This summer, I was in contact with our professor John Ochsendorf from the building technology dept.

Space 24: second pass
http://ohthesis.blogspot.com/2008/09/second-pass.html
Tuesday, September 16, 2008. The lonely park bench:. Often times, in the attempt to discourage the homeless from using park benches as a temporary home, these benches have become cold and lonely objects within a landscape. Dynamic. Responsive. Relevant. In every design review or crit, words like this are constantly thrown out. As students of architecture, we seek to create spaces which can engage with the users. Can individual objects in a public space evoke this type of environment? Would traditional fu...

Space 24
http://ohthesis.blogspot.com/2008/12/blog-post.html
Wednesday, December 3, 2008. In Los Angeles, public space and public parks in particular have a negative stigma. Associated with homelessness, low income, and crime, rather than bringing vibrancy to the community, these spaces segregate the community based on social, economic, or racial boundaries. How can public space be designed to accommodate the wide diversity of people in the community? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The urban fabric of Los Angeles has long been d.

education, earth, and architecture: October 2008

Education, earth, and architecture. Wednesday, October 1, 2008. Some thoughts on earth construction. I began a some of my research on earth construction as a building material and here are some of the things I found out. You can build with earth in three ways:. 1 Mud brick/ adobe: unbaked bricks (these could be used for walls, vaulting, etc). 2 Soil block: Compressed, unbaked brick. Apparently some criteria that could be considered when design for earth are:. High humidity regulation and absorption.
