Thesis Excerpts of Interest. Ryan Drummond asked, Why the ocean? The ocean is the only earthly environment which man cannot overpower, the ocean belittles man. 8220;our tools are always deployed in the service of some philosophy or ideology. If we are to use our tools in the service of fitting in on Earth, our basic relationship to nature- even the story we tell ourselves about who we are in the universe has to change.” Janine Benyus. On interdisciplinary exploration (informational systems integration) :.

http://designandaffect.blogspot.com/2008/05/systems-integration.html

Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Thesis Statement: Systems Integration. Architecture in its current state is isolated because it does not recognize itself as an adaptive system within a larger constantly evolving network. Subtractive, analytical processes serve to isolate the subject from the very factors which define them, while systemic processes derive order from cooperative interaction with dynamic systems. I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself I seem to have been only like a...

Paul Sheaffer // Architecture Thesis: February 2008

http://psheaffer.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html

Paul Sheaffer / Architecture Thesis. Monday, February 18, 2008. Way too long updated Abstract. Still roughing this out. Monument is an evocative and artistic form of architecture tied heavily to cultural memory; architecture for the public good. The monumental built form reflects the aspirations of the time; it ranges from colossal gestures of social prosperity to a quiet remembrance of passing. What is today’s monumental social concern? Living sustainably is not just turning the lights off and recycling...

design + affect: 3/4 Jury

http://designandaffect.blogspot.com/2008/04/34-jury.html

For final jury I need to be more rigorous about the architectural representation of the project. I think the idea of breaking up the vertical presentation format with analytiques or moments of deeper exploration was a good suggestion to bring real intensity to the somewhat fantastical subject matter. This type of analysis will lead to a better understanding of the true nature of social interaction in the spaces and their relationships to one another, keeping in mind fluidity, displacement and also the ex...

Paul Sheaffer // Architecture Thesis: 1/4 Jury

http://psheaffer.blogspot.com/2008/02/14-jury.html

Paul Sheaffer / Architecture Thesis. Wednesday, February 13, 2008. Last night was rough for all of us, but there was great benefit in having outsiders. I don’t think any of us were prepared to pitch our whole thesis, and we’re going to have to really focus on the meat of our ideas to distill our descriptions to a few minutes. I really dropped the ball on my presentation, got nervous, and did a really poor job articulating my ideas and left out quite a few that might have been helpful to the outsiders.

design + affect: The Highline Shell

http://designandaffect.blogspot.com/2007/12/highline-shell.html

Sea level rise is an event which cannot be met symptomatically. In the past, engineers have built dikes and levees to hold back water from civilizations only to prolong the inevitable interaction between water and architecture. Hurricane Katrina is one of many instances that illustrate the dangerous consequences of controlling rather than cooperating with nature. High fashion boutiques and night clubs are now flooded; only the higher residential levels remain inhabited. Fire exits turned into main en...
