Pritzker Prize 2002を受賞した Glenn Murcutt のインタビューより。 I still hold to that old statement of my father, that in life most of us will do ordinary things, and the important thing is to do those ordinary things extraordinarily well.
Current installation at SCI-Arc by Elena Manferdini. This two-and-half dimensional installation hangs in relaxed catenary curve. Diffused light casts delicate shadows on concrete floor. After the Dragonfly installation, Elena's Merletti reminds me of butterfly wings. As people walk through, hundreds of black wings flaps in viewer's eye level, so they can appreciate connection details and materiality. Really nice.
ファイナルプレゼンテーションまで後ちょうど一ヶ月弱。悠長なことは言っていられません。今やらないことはきっと明日もやらない。だって明日の今頃もきっと同じ事考えている... Line は結構気に入ったのが出来たので、polygon modeling 初挑戦します。
True meaning of discovery is not about finding something new, rather noticing things that have been there all the time.
My thesis concept has been about extracting interesting conditions or events around the site and to systematically translate them into architecture. This is to seek a design procedure to create the type of architecture where individual’s discovery of the site becomes an integral part of architectural experience. The diagram explains the process where those found information are translated step by step.
Another workshop by Robert Davolio. I recycled the little fins that I developed in Testa Studio. Last semester, all I figured out was to let those fins accommodate with a modifiable grid. Now each instance can do some fancy stuff. Variations are controlled by a design table. I was having so much fun, but the instructor scalded at me that six lines instantiation is too dumb for his taste... It should have been as simple as four points instantiation. Fine, I admit our fins are too complicated. I guess I had too much fun.
Anyway, I'm going to team up with Sky and Harold for the workshop. We each have different objectives. Sky to master parametric modeling, Harold to master ecoTech, and for me, D.P. scripting.
Nicholas Pisca's workshop at SCI-Arc. Only within 4 meetings, he has brought bunch of newbies up to a decent level. I'm one of them. The following is a basic script to display certain information from multiple geometries. The challenge was to figure out the closest object for each one. I had to use two "integer counters" to solve this problem.
