Thesis – Working Ideas Nature and Nurture “If have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” Issac Newton “What Hath God Wrought” Samuel Morse and Annie Ellsworth Numbers 23:23 For the purposes of this argument, let’s assume that man needs a certain amount of nature and nurture in […]

Final Project Ideas Video: http://youtu.be/1XlOjcO7QOc Currently there are security devices (that look similar to metal detectors) that blow puffs of air onto a person in order to knock off small amounts of dust, then vacuum the dust that was knocked off and run a chemical trace to see if it contains explosive or narcotic chemical […]
Man’s technology has allowed us to operate more efficiently, but we have always needed protection from the elements that make us fragile. We are able to live in climates that we are not particularly biologically adapted to live in. In the Things, it states that we were could not again change our biology to live, […]
http://www.cnn.com/2013/09/04/tech/innovation/dna-face-sculptures/index.html This reminded me when we were talking about DNA sequencing and soon everyone can get a full DNA record of anyone if they have any of their DNA. This artist finds random DNA in different places and is able to recreate peoples faces based on their DNA.
Note: I’m using the term “code” for current lack of better term- I’m not limiting the architectural system to code scripting yet. I’m using “code” to refer to the developmental rules in the system, like genetic code to an organism. I may refer to a conceptual connection between biological and architectural as an “analogy” or […]
My focus so far has been on the ideas of how enclosures of different scales came into existence. From the earliest moments in life, enclosure became a main focus. The first self replicators adapted to cell membranes because some self replicators produced toxic oxygen that killed any replicator that couldn’t protect itself. Likewise, “Sparta didn’t […]
How has our environment evolved and have we evolved appropriately to survive in it? The Island and The Things both comment on how humans poorly adapted to our various environments. We are constantly unaware of the limitations of protocols that we don’t pay attention to and how they affect us. ex. gravity. How can we control our own evolution […]
