Frac Centre.

So i'm back in France for those who do not know already....working on another project with THEVERYMANY. This will be my last structure before I leave for LA. Its probably another reason for the active posting recently, traveling gives me some time to think and blog I guess...

here is a time lapse I threw together; make sure to check out the website as well for updates on the build/whats going on. THEVERMANY.COM

thank you all for the support and encouragement. Hopefully after I finish my masters Nick, Jessie, and I will make something amazing out of our experiences.

#thoughts:
I quickly realize that being "responsible" was more complicated then simply telling people what to do. I have to adapt to different situations/fields, work out difficult problems, teach, manage, maintain public relations, relaying messages and keep a straight face in moments of panic. I can't say i've done a great job, but I can say i'm happy with how its going, and Frac/Students have been so helpful to me. I'm glad I get to share this experience with them.

Tvmny, Wins competition:

#of course this comes with realizations....

So, while working for THEVERYMANY I jumped on a small competition held in LA as TVMNY in collaboration with Volkan Alkanoglu after much debate with the jury (about skateboards, scale, and construction) in march, we won! They loved it fyi, yay! possibly my first built project and i'm moving to LA for school. Its perfect, a little to perfect I say....

After looking at that link, I guess you can say at this very moment I leveled up my digital skills. I learned how to model differently in Rhino, Python, and alittle bit of zaha theory (which I can't say i'm proud of...)

:after all is done and over with I realize how afraid the public truly is of architecture...but not just the dynamics or ideas presented but also how others will affect it or be affected by it! so, friends....how do we Intend fix this? how do we win back the trust of the world? to prove not only to the public but ourselves that we are not only necessary but an important function to the expansion of the human mentality.

Mobile thought.

What separates the men from the boys. Managing my first project in Orleans I gotta say "holy crap this is alot of work." I start to wonder if I'm really cut out for this type of work....(I'm not, but who is?) I can't honestly say "Hey! I always wanted this!"

I've always been more of the laid back "lets design" for fun kind of guy......

But in the end this is reality, this project was been a large part of my life in NYC. If I don't see it through who will?

heres a link for the project in Orleans.

Thoughts: its a idea about structure to surface, in the end YES it does look like the other projects and YES he has done something similar before (TVMNY semi official age maybe 2?). BUT, look a little deeper....think about the construction of the pieces, and how it comes together. The fact that a small 4x5x1.5 box can make a 30' long 20' wide and 14' tall structure is amazing..... right? no? are you not impressed? then these designs are not for you! :P and that only scratches the surface....theres so much more depth to the process....

I'll post my own pics in a month.

please remind me......
