a professor shared this with me.. a few times. as i reread, i'm reminded to breathe and simply be.
"For the time being the highest peak, for the time being the deepest ocean; for the time being a crazy mind, for the time being a Buddha body; for the time being a Zen Master, for the time being an ordinary person; for the time being earth and sky… Since there is nothing but this moment, ‘for the time being’ is all the time there is...
We want enjoyment, we want to avoid pain and discomfort. But it is impossible that things will always work out, impossible to avoid pain and discomfort. So to be happy, with a happiness that doesn’t blow away with every wind, we need to be able to make use of what happens to us — all of it — whether we find ourselves at the top of a mountain or at the bottom of the sea.”

feedback loop
out now on lulu:
"Feedback Loop is an introduction to the ideas underlying recent experimentation with complexity in architecture. it presents key concepts such as prototyping, non-linear order, emergence, bottom-up thinking, parametric thinking, generative scripting and biomorphism, and it does so in plain language for students of architecture and others who seek an entry point into the discussion of recent design work. many of these ideas, which arose in other fields of study, are interpreted architecturally, in order to help designers leverage them in the creative act. by showing how the key concepts work together to define a coherent view of architecture, Feedback Loop supports the conclusion that the pursuit of complexity is poised to expand beyond the avant-garde to become a broad-scoped, long-term architectural movement."

product_sculpture
this post is long over due, but only recently caught a chance to snap some photos.
for those interested; dimensions are roughly 6' x 8'. it weighs more than you'd care to know, but i've got it up on casters.
i've repurposed some found shipping pallets from a nearby residence doing some remodeling. ripped them down. and integrated a set of 36 plaster tiles i cast from clay, coated in 2 part rubber, and filled with plaster. more on the process.
the piece is rough, raw, and simple connections all honor the same inherent qualities of the palettes. i was interested in using repetition as a visual quality and complement the warm, raw nature of the wood with the white, smooth qualities exhibited by the plaster.
for now. enjoy the photos.

SO-IL won ps1 with pole dance
check out this video. clear, elegant, dynamic, fun method showcasing SO-IL's winning proposal from this year's ps1 + moma young architects program [a decade of design]
it's called pole dance.
for me, BIG gave them competition by appealing to logic and environmental virtues [full material life cycle...], but SO-IL's proposal seems gentler, ethereal, playful, simpler. this competition is always inspiring. will have to make the trip one of these years.

life cycle ps1
BIG has done it, their entry into the ps1 design competition is 1 of 7295.
the entry, by invitation - [denmark?!] + [well-established?1], considers the full life cycle of the materials used. the soapy bubble forms will be fully down_cycled into 7,295 plastic bags. oh, the bubbles started as truck bed covers...
the entire installation is 99% air. 1% material... to relax in, play in, reflect in, and on - light, shade, texture. great stuff.
here's a nice link to archdaily's coverage of the last ten years of ps1

surplus to the rescue
while devastating in scope, a great opportunity - even necessity - exists to put concept to action. below is a terrific diagram from SEED, a group of researchers from clemson university, illustrating the surplus of shipping containers found throughout the caribbean.
their research is very graphic, informative, visual, and clean. great examples of innovative thinking. great opportunities available.

we're #12
came across this article on mothernaturenetwork. it's a great article that highlights some of the city's best green locations, markets, and activities.
among the highlights are;
"reclaiming wisconsin’s largest brownfield for energy-efficient buildings and greenspace produced 2,100 new jobs, and a similar effort is planned to renew the 30th street Industrial corridor as a "greenlight district" for jobs."
they also remark on some the city's 'greenest architecture.'
"perhaps the most notable is hotel metro, located in a historic art deco building on the corner of milwaukee and mason streets downtown. The first hotel in wisconsin to apply for LEED certification, hotel metro features bamboo planking and cork public area flooring, recycled carpeting in guest rooms and architectural features made from reconstituted forest products and recycled glass."
"nature lovers can observe the local flora and fauna at the city’s many parks, take a hike at the schlitz audubon nature center or explore the gardens, natural habitats and trails at the wehr nature center."
... i was surprised to notice the city's urban ecology center, and will allen's growing power failed to make mention... the article also overlooks a lot of the cities more local attractions, like the riverwest farmer's market, sweetwater organics and others that are more neighborhood related [local] attractions. these are, in my opinion, the city's greatest contributions to green living.

no more remotes
the nytimes article reports on last week's consumer electronics show in vegas, where one of the most significant changes to human-device interfaces since the mouse appeared next to computers in the early 1980s...
moving away from remote controls, mice and joysticks to something that arrives without batteries, wires or a user manual.
it's called a hand.

flat packing
what took so long?
"shipping containers revolutionized commerce and the transportation of goods, and almost singlehandedly made globalism possible through a dramatic reduction in shipping costs, time and losses. but they are not problem-free; unless trade is balanced they tend to pile up at one end of the line. they are expensive to move when empty, particularly on trucks, where it costs the same to move an empty one as a full one."
cargoshell, a dutch manufacture, has engineered a new shipping container that folds down to one forth the size of conventional containers. it is made of composite materials, making it lighter than its precursor.
the use of composite materials also offers other added features including;
- the composite walls act as an insulator, eliminating condensation.
- it is low maintenance; the composites don't corrode.
- gps can be built into the container because the composite, unlike steel, does not block the signal.
- steel containers need a lot of paint, with a lot of toxic rust inhibitors that are pollutants; the composites need no paint.
- to top it all off, they even have float bags built in so that if they go over the side of the ship (not an uncommon event) they will float, and can be traced back by the built-in gps system quickly.

shigeru ban
here's a quick little video i stumbled upon. brought to us by L|studio [lexus]
it interviews architect shigeru ban and hits on everything from furniture design to student projects, current works and remarks on his innovative paper tube structures.
there's information containing his conceptual thinking, his process, and his motivations.
the video merely touches on some of the architect's concepts and ideation... it's an advertisement, but still really interesting

woods of net
this project is like lincoln logs meets art meets awesome.
the japanese tezuka architects teamed up with tis & partners to create a unique space for net artist toshiko horiuchi macadam. it sits in the hakone open-air museum. no metal was used in the construction of the pavillion. the joinery is derived from thousands years old japanese wooden temples in nara and kyoto.
"this is a permanent pavilion for a net artist, toshiko horiuchi macadam. the artist knitted the net entirely by hands, which is designed for children to crow in, roll around, and jump on the net. it was easy for us to see the artwork being outside even when it cannot be exposed to rain or ultraviolet light. we wanted to design a space as soft as the forest where the boundary between outside and inside disappears. the space attracts people like campfire. the children play inside of the net just as fire and parents sit around and lay on the woods."

living building challenge
i cruise archdaily as i sit in my living room enjoying the festive atmosphere. the smells and sounds of family gathered for the holidays.
completely unrelated, i've been participating in a project through our university [uwm] and the urban ecology center - a local organization that seeks to instill the values of respecting mother earth to urban communities in milwaukee. they're experimenting with a the idea of a satellite branch and i've been heading up a design team - partnered with the other design school [miad] in milwaukee.
the goal was to collaborate and synthesize a new design for our client on the edge of the glacial valley. we aimed to meet the "living building" challenge. this desire pushes pragmatic and fiduciary design into realms not yet achieved. we are operating in a dense urban environment. our design was to be three stories. more later....
this project caught my eye. it's a new facility for manitoba hydro by kpmb architects. below is a quote explaining the project. i couldn't help but marvel at the diagrams and the similarities in design intent [though with a much larger budget]
"manitoba hydro is the major energy utility in the province of manitoba, the fourth largest energy utility in canada and offers some of the lowest electricity rates in the world. owned by the provincial government, nearly all of its electricity comes from self-renewing water power. Its new headquarters tower, manitoba hydro place, is the first of the next generation of sustainable buildings integrating time-tested environmental concepts in conjunction with advanced technologies to achieve a “living building” that dynamically responds to the local climate... manitoba hydro place sets a precedent for the seamless integration of architectural excellence and climate responsive, energy efficient and sustainable design while enhancing and improving the quality and comfort of the human experience and the civility of urban life."

cop15
been trying to follow the cop15 conference
the optimism...
the compromise....
the frustration....
the hope...
the disappointment....
i was intrigued by this first hand account by thom yorke. acquiring a press pass he has logged thoughts at deadairspace
here are a few of his thoughts;
"and as i wrote the previous entry my battery goes dead and obama walks past with a very grim expression, everyone thought he was stroming out but no he'd just been in talks with the chinese. just now a french delegate tells me that brazil has stormed out of the talks. this is all so sad. still peace and goodwill to all men. love and understanding.
just no more business as usual ok?? this is all starting to really feel like some enormous vaguely pointless corporate expo."
"well ... i am truly disgusted about the way things have ended here. if you read in tommorrows headlines that a deal was reached?? remember it was nothing like what was needed and was filed by a bored complicit press who needed to show something for two weeks of crap.. and that it reflected the wests inability to lead decisively.
that it will make alarm bells ring throughout the world.
we have no international agreement. this is all too too late.
i feel deeply traumatized by the whole experience. if you'd been there you would also have been."
i also stumbled upon an interview via pitchfork brought to you by the age of stupid
please leave your thoughts if you're at all concerned, outraged, inspired, hopeful....

vals [redux]
here's a clever little project that has found a place at the feet peter zumthor's thermal baths....
the dutch architect's[SeARCH] ask;
"shouldn’t it be possible to conceal a house in an alpine slope while still exploiting the wonderful views and allowing light to enter?"
the steep topography of the site provided opportunities for expansive views across the valley while views from the bath house remained unspoiled.
true to form [as we all learned in architectural history] the swiss required a timber frame model of the residence to be constructed at the site for neighbors and authorities to critique. the residence is a great example of pragmatic, unobtrusive development; neighbors were delighted.

camel medical clinics
of all the mobile medical clinics that have been thought up by sympathetic designers, i think this is one of the most ingenious. it's practical, cost-effective, creative, and uses existing infrastructure, namely camels...
these animals have been used forever to transport things and people across the hot, dry deserts. now, with the help of a simple photovoltaic panel a refrigerator can keep critical medicine and vaccines at the right conditions to deliver to remote villages in africa - for now, kenya and ethiopia.
these mobile health units will allow medical supplies to keep up with nomadic communities as well as remote villages.
headed by the nomadic communities trust, partnered with California’s Art Center College of Design’s Designmatters and Princeton’s Institute for the Science and Technology of Materials [PRISM].

2A_eM; marcus prize participant
as this semester winds down, and anticipation of upcoming events begin to take hold of my mind, i'd like to give a short update [more to follow] regarding upcoming endeavors.
next semester i will be participating in the marcus prize studio, with distinguished architect alejandro aravena. this prestigious studio will begin an exciting experiment in collaboration. not only will we be learning from an internationally acclaimed architect, but will be collaborating across campus and disciplines. this studio, though small, will incorporate students from the arts, as well as city planning in addition to traditional architecture students.
never before have i had this experience during my architectural education, and now that i'm on the arts side [more on that later], it should make for some great, innovative, provocative works.

BlickFang 2010
Heres an interesting design build project that recently caught my attention. while my search for the holy grail I found myself looking at Voronoi geometry. of course I can't say I understand it since I am still in the beginning process of learning parametric ideas, But... I can say I like it :P heres something on the side that reminded of what I was looking at.
the project is pretty wild yet simple, all the extruded (Packed) pentagons point and bend towards a certain object in the exhibition. and on top of that changes thickness from top to bottom I'm guessing for structural reasons.
There is a simple 3 and 4 prong solution that holds the pieces together. I have also recently ran into a plugin for rhino called Rhinonest, its used for so for to unwrap models and tag them for fabrication, maybe in a couple of months I'll figure it out so we can use it for something interesting :D
heres the link for where I found it originally.

shadow art
legos have been receiving a lot of love recently.
everyone it seems is using these building blocks that have powered so many of our imaginations growing up.
there's james may's lego house.... sadly destroyed.
then there's Jean-Charles de Castelbajac's, a famous fashion designer, accessories strutting down the catwalk.
but, this project absolutely blows my mind. while i maintain a personal nostalgia for these little modular building blocks this project utilizes these tiny pieces in combination with light to create amazing works that shape shift before your eyes.
"the program called shadow art is an amazing new computer model that allows designers to create objects based on the multiple and highly specific shadows that those objects will cast when lit from different angles."
i don't quite understand how or what these designer/artists are doing, or how they are able to combine images into a three dimensional work, but it's an amazing process with equally supreme results.

While I am away in Europe studying, I set up a blog for my trip. the entire blog is filled with images I have taken and is updated almost daily until now. so I hope you like it, and I'll be back in the states in roughly two weeks. maybe then after we'll do another competition in celebration of my return??? :P

is there such thing as a 3d pen?
finally a tool that allows you to draw in the digital world, and i'm not talking about cad people! With the combination of a track ball and tablet this program allows us to draw freely in euclidean space, i can only image the fun things nick and jessie could dream up. is the gap between hand drawings and digital accuracy dwindling? or am I just day dreaming?
I excited to see what happens next, that or maybe we'll just have to take the exploration into our own hands. :D
