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 […]

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 […]
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.
The idea of relevance is always in architecture but the aspects of what is relevant at the time changes constantly. Is there a way to design something that will adapt to the people and keep changing with the times to allow the design to never become irrelevant? Most places become abandonded because they served out […]
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 […]
Pet Architecture- Animals have better instincts such as anticipating danger, finding water and food, etc. How can they be used for architecture, resources, survival- in extreme locations or after extreme disasters? Which species would be useful for resource gathering, and which for post-colonization equilibrium maintenance within the new ecosystem? Dune– “Movement across the landscape is a necessity […]
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 […]
