hand speaking “b e a u t i f u l”; beautiful hand study fall 2oo4

If a blind man/woman and a deaf woman/man met in the (almost) center of a plaza filled with people, how would they communicate? I want to say that the body of my work coherently considers the root of this question, but i appreciate the obscurity of the scenario enough to understand that every mark i make another mark can be made with equal/opposite and greater force; therefore, the act of making has no beginning or end...just an action.

unlike the the golden rectangle, le modulor or the vitruvian man this contemporary system considers the unraveling of the skin as a measure of spatial sensation.

What is "voice"? “It is the sense of agency that makes a person confident that he or she will be heard” r.grossman- psychotherapist narcissistic voice - “continuous proof of the significance of their voice, narcissists must find people to hear and value them.” r.grossman echo - “is a reflection of sound, arriving at the listener some time after the direct sound.” “Not the power to remember, but its very opposite, the power to forget, is a necessary condition for our existence.” st. basil “The noosphere can be seen as the ‘sphere of human thought’...noosphere is the third in a succession of phases of development of the Earth” "cognition" is to describe the emergent development of knowledge and concepts within a group that culminate in both thought and action.

voices & echoes of carrizo plains

these echoes in a pyschical sense effect the voices that inhabit the system. phenomenologically the antagonist inhibits the concious experience of the voices through isolated listening of reflected sound. voices indulge sound to be listened too, creating a sense of agency that a particular voice will be encoded and impact the surrounding environment. in essence the psychological voice is life; therefore, the voices needs to be heard to know their alive. inclusively the 26 voices can be heard allowing for a narcissistic existence, and until the duration echolessness the 26 voices will remain echoed in the contained systematic cognitive noosphere.

02 Elevating Scars of History

Tom Fowler Studio, Winter 2005

Elevating Scars of History, Roosevelt Island, NYC Inspired by a the geometry and primary colors of a abstract Mondrian painting, this competition entry attempts to utilize the atrium space as an outlet where architectural program plugs into the structure to deviate from closed circulation paths for a healthy user experience...... ................ ........................ .......... You enter the project through a circulation spine that penetrates through an existing window of the small pox hospital ruin. This spine is inclined and connects the polymer celled spaces that puncture through a glass and perforated steel skin envelope. The transforming pattern of the skin compliments the evening entourage of lights that glow from the Manhattan skyline while the cell spaces extend out to queens. The polymer cell structures provide lighting from two sides to enable a sense of being outside. The entire program fits into these cell spaces and includes a outdoor theater, garden and gallery spaces.................................................

In 2006 the Barbary Coast Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas was demolished and resurrected as a parking structure for its neighboring Flamingo Hotel guest. The beginnings of the parking structure at the former Barbary Coast Hotel continues to serve its purpose for five hundred vehicles set at level (-1). The audience rises 30 feet from the vehicular space to a subsidence stage level (0), where they are interrupted by 928 pnuematic columns that raise and lower to alter the spatial stage qualities. The back drop of the stage is a load bearing concrete habitable wall that serves as gallery space, theater control booth and restaurant 100 feet above stage level that is accessed by a single elevtor............................

cyborgs

mutants

Fountain Alley, San Jose, CA

In the year 2010 the technological divide will encourage new aspects of survival. The rich will become richer and the poor will continue to strive. By the year 2020 the technological divide will be at its acute potential with the progressive development of genetic engineering and cybernetics that the destruction of the natural human race will be inevitably split into two races [cyborgs and mutants]. In the heart of san jose, within an assumed historic district, a inhabited landscape once began as a metaphorical machine that would activate the mid-afternoon social life by interacting live/work and hostel type sleeping capsules for the publics daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly purchase through an automated currency transaction service. The privately owned human capsule service has recently become a tool for the poor to try and invent themselves into the mainstream society of the rich. Below the landscaped capsules is a framework of initial spaces that facilitate in the development of cybernetic organisms that educate and develop the technologically declined poor. Initially the cyborg facility is situated within the envelope of a concrete sleeve that buries it self 1/6 of a mile below the earths surface. The facility is equipped with the most crucial means of cybernetic advancement. Level (-1) is a artificially daylit, temperature and humidity controlled factory for nutrients encompassing a space that has the capacity to store hydroponic units that feed up to one million. Also at level (-1) factory for construction and production, the necessary equipment and materials for construction and production of micro dwellings and hygiene systems are housed within this factory level. Levels (-2) through (-5) is an open space with steel anchors embedded into the concrete envelope that services the growth and development of the cyborg population. Level (-6) is the factory for cybernetic organism development and a factory for corrupt cyborg extermination. In our lifetime the facility has become over grown with the mutants extending vertically from the earth and the design the of the cyborg facility limited capacity required the construction of cyborg facilities that extend horizontally across the earths surface inter-connecting all portals to its origin portal. The mutants and cyborgs have almost stretched to their potential physical growth that by the 2050 mutants and cyborgs will converge at the earths origin surface

a logitudinal section shows one of the many facilities at maximum capacity during year 2050. At this point in time the cyborgs have become a disposable society, taking on the traits of previous ancestors from the year 2000, and the social tension will, eventually, cause the cyborg race to breach the distraught earth surface causing an upheaval of the elite mutant cultures. It is unclear what will happen at the point...but we shall await the orders. (0)

“Technological developments are rapidly changing, such that, the innovations of today will be obsolete tomorrow. This era of change is naturally reflected in social trends. People, particularly the youth, are no longer satisfied with the same old environment day in and day out. They demand change and variety, and this is manifest in two ways: firstly the greater turnover in material belongings, such as cars, furniture and clothes, and secondly the increase movement, not only from one occupation to another but also between physical environments. The latter has been encouraged by the advances that have been made in communications. A new versatile architecture must surely emerge which can accommodate these trends, perhaps a portable instant architecture or even a short-term throw-away/recycled architecture. Traditional architecture, evolving as it does from rigid structural forms which dictate the environmental conditions within them, could hardly be adapted to suit these requiments” -Dent-......

The U.S. world expo 2020 is a showcase of cultures around the world that celebrates its future of “energy and exploration” through interaction, exchange and excitement of the enhanced Paralympics games. Since the beginning of the modern Olympics, paraplegics have fought rigorously to compete in the Olympic Games. But due to controversial circumstances unstated by the Olympic game committee, the physically disabled people are left untried. Now! with modern technology and accelerating advancements of virtual computer software the enhanced Paralympics games will take on a new era of A.I and cyborg individuals competing amongst each other for the kevlar medal. The pavilion is made of a piezoelectric rip-stop polymer that generates energy from the forces of the wind sustaining the air pressure inside. When deflated the pavilion has the potential to stiffen its self creating an open public space. This system of seamed piezoelectric surfaces adapts to program needs and growth by de-laminating the seams to add or subtract sheets from its surface area. By utilizing the simplicity of ancient air inflation techniques to stabilize the structure there is always a constant re-circulation of fresh air eliminating the need for HVAC systems.

M a t e r i a l s the sense of touch is often described as the least remebered of the senses in daily life, and in the study of architecture it is becoming even more irrelevant. These material studies attempt to engage a person in a multisensory experience where each sense is not revealed as dichotomy of greater importance, but as qualities with equal importance. “Every touching experience of architecture is multi-sensory; qualities of space, matter and scale are measured equally by the eye, ear, nose, skin, tongue, skeleton and muscle...” Juhani Pallassmaa “The Eyes of the Skin”
