Status Update

Thankfully I am doing alright after this storm and all.  Haven't had power the whole week until yesterday morning.  Been steadily continuing with the organization of my boards and all.

Ironically, taking into consideration with all that has happened as a result of Hurricane Sandy, I can utilize the statistics that will generate in the next couple of weeks, and my own personal experiences, to enhance the Disaster preparation, relief, and fortification design factors related with my thesis project.

I got lucky with the storm, I have not had power. So I have been spending the sfew days helping friends on the south shore. I hopefully have power when get home and wll be able to get back to school work.

Work Progress



I am still working my 3D model and then my model trying to tie the major program spaces conceptually.

All ok?

Hi all,

I hope everyone is safe and sound without too much disruption or major damages! Please post or email that you are all ok!!

Regarding your projects and presentation, continue on your current path and use this time if you are able to focus your work. We will have the 2nd half of the pin-up as soon as NYIT is back online.

Post or send me your progress and I'll (we'll) do my (our) best to assist in moving your ideas forward.

Build and rebuild those models and drawings.

I think I got it?!



So, I think I was over thinking my goal for the past 2 weeks. And it just hit me that I had what I needed all along. So, basically my strategy is translating the major forms of arts i.e. Painting, Sculpting, photography, digital arts, music and theater into architecture tectonics; that is finding how they are similar, where do they overlap and how are they different. So, it all trickled down on how each form of art is projected in the real world i.e. 

- a painting is projected on a canvas which is architecturally speaking is a simple 2D plane (Even though on the deep micro scale there is the relief of the brush strokes which deems it a 3D surface, but am not focusing on that level of deepness in the analysis)
- A Sculpture is a frozen moment in 3D space.
- Music is just sound with a meaning so that could translate as some sort of transparent element in space since it only exists as a reference in space.
- Theater, could be interpreted in the form of motion or the circulation through the previously discussed tectonics.

I don't know why I was in search of a deeper meaning or method of translating art into architecture that it drove away from my initial intent.

Please comment on your thoughts.
