7-panes Gerhard Richter 2007
Arguably created by Barbara Stafford, Showing Seeing is a way of presenting a visual artifact from the world. Usually under multiple lenses, this exercise dissects our visual understanding in this world in the context of the thing itself. In this version Gerhard Richter’s work at the High Museum is examined. What makes his work communicate on so many wavelengths and so many levels of understanding? “Look Dad, I’m 3d,” a 4 year old exclaimed while looking through the eleven paned installation. What have you said?

Diane Borsato. You Go to My Head. Video. Toronto. Fall 2009.

For some undergraduates and graduates, the assembly of a portfolio seems to be the signal for some oncoming doom. However, there aren’t many classes that teach what the ideal portfolio looks like, and even less transfer the theory of architecture into the architecture portfolio.

Harris Dimtropoulos heads one of the senior studio (4012) classes this year. As part of their semester project, they have researched and documented water on GaTech’s Campus. Dimitropoulos is pushing exploration of the immediate surroundings and in turn the goal of the class is for the students to create devices that reflect their explorations. The senior year students went as far as observing a model of the campus and carrying out water experiments to see how the campus takes in water. In the experiment, the campus was gradually flooded with water. The pictures below show water accumulation in areas on the site at different stages. Read the rest of this entry »

In the past two decades, as economic bubbles inflated, architectural spending around the globe reached a fever pitch. In both well-established centers of capital accumulation and far-flung locales heretofore seldom uttered in the same breath as the name of any Pritzker Prize winner, audacious building projects sprang up like mushrooms after a good rain. At the same time, the skyscraper, heretofore more commonly associated with the hurly-burly of American capitalism seemed only a few years ago as if it might pack up and move permanently from Chicago and New York and settle instead in Dubai and Shanghai.

We’ve all stood out there, when it’s sunny, rainy, warm, freezing, afternoon, in the dark, crowded, vacant, next-door, across the country, for fifteen minutes, for weeks, with sketchbook tucked under arm and camera slung across shoulder.
What are you looking at?
What does site context mean to you?

Trail of Tears. Monster Trucks. X-ray. Seattle. Dallas. Louisville. Hyperational Process. Architectural Obsession of Signature. Compartmentalized Flexibility. These words, places, and ideas are the jigsaw pieces from a Ted talk articulated by Joshua Prince-Ramus, principle of REX Architecture. In February of 2006, Prince-Ramus pieced this lecture together in order to reveal how three separate projects with incomparable ‘bathtubs’ of constraints are resolved with a singular understanding of three concepts derived from a Hyperational Process.

City of Words, 1977 Vito Acconci
This week’s search for great things to share with you all began with that six degrees of separation. This is that fun phenomenon I’m sure most of us are familiar with that consists of bouncing from one wildly interesting article to another. What makes it so enjoyable is that it wonderfully suggests that all things are linked to one another in someway.
