The Future Of Architecture

UPDATE: I recently met Tristan on October 12 at ACADIA where he presented his work. He in a lot of ways is ahead of where architecture is going. Im looking forward to collaborating with him and exploring the implications of robotics.

Robotics and building, two things that just seem to go together. It seems that every object created these days reacts to us in some way, now its architecture's turn. Imagine a building reacting to its environment breathing when it needs air moving when it need room, the possibilities are endless.

More From The Display Case!

As promised more images of the approaching completion of the display case. All mayor components are finished minus the large flat bottom sections.

New Professional Website On The Way

Im working hard to get my new professional website online. The new website will have most all of my portfolio online so people can see what I do. As my schedule goes I will probably be a month or so but this is wishful thinking.

More Progress

Im working to finish the display case. One side is almost finished that only leaves one to go and the center, about 200+ hours

ACADIA Here I Come!

Well good news, my paper on "ARRHYTHMIC SOUNDS" was excepted to be published and presented. The premiss of the research is that sound from the outside would i.e. outside the building or space can be used to help make isolated interior space more comfortable for inhabitants.

"Using music in these spaces has become commonplace. However, this research chooses to address sounds that do not mask the arrhythmic sounds of the world. These random sounds might break a person’s concentration, just as a bird flying by a window breaks one’s concentration. Even though these sounds of nature, vehicles, and people interrupt, do they give a greater sense of place than ambient music? Do these breaks in concentration help keep an individual oriented and aware of time while increasing both comfort and connection to the work being done?"

I wont go any further than that because the paper is lengthy but if anyone wants to know more just let me know. The one thing that has began to sink in is that i have to present my idea to several hundred people.........

In Case You Don't Know I Am A Mac Freak

To tell you some more about me, Im a Mac addict. I do most of my work on a Mac three to be exact but i do dreadfully own one dell pc that gets me by when I need it. My best computer is a old sawtooth that I salvaged from a friend and upgraded. I converted several years back and I haven't looked back. Now that boot camp is out the future of my dell is in jeopardy.

More Images of Process

As promised more images of the process work this is as close to a final mode as its going to get. While I finished my design work and preliminary construction, I have been delayed for a couple of months due to scheduals/materials/opinions. Some time this week or next I'm going to resume construction, with the intent of completion by the first of august.

Finals Are Over

The corners are done I will post more on the construction later

THE DEADLINES LOOM!

Well its that time again im pushing to another deadline with what seems to be an impossible task of construction. With 5 weeks remaining I have to fully construct a modern display-case. So far so good im still working on design so im a hair behind but I have all my stuff ready pending approval from the dean of the college. So far i have some preliminary design work but no finish model. Heres what I have for now.

Homeless Shelter

This was probably my favorite project, we had to develop a homeless shelter that could sleep 4. My idea was a shelter that had some significant meaning to people that were homeless. For me the idea of not having a home or some where to go is foreign, so i tried to give the shelter some significance by creating a more modern womb the epitome of shelter.

What's going on here?

Starting second semester of grad school, Its time for large projects, actionscripting and research. I though I would update my content and show some projects from last semester. These are not necessarily in any order mostly just my favorites.

Its Christmas time

Its that time of the year I guess that's why I'm getting around to my blog. More soon Merry Christmas

What's going on

I'm back in school! Grad school! I'm working on several new projects. My website is one of the numerous things I'm working on. I planning on working more on my blog along the way so keep watching.
