• Economy of Knowledge: Means of Production

  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 […]

• Technology as Prosthetic

  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 […]

• Arresting Evolution

  Arresting Evolution   “Scientific Modern man has become aware of his own evolution.” Julian Huxley. After doing some research on this man, I quickly realized that it is possible to agree with a statement and not the philosophy of the person who was making it.  Julian Huxley was an evolutionary biologist and also a eugenicist […]

• Evolution V Architecture 9/25 update

  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 […]

• Ecosystem Human Conjugation

  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, […]

• Architecture’s Impact on Human Psychology and Social Interactions

  In Solaris, as well as most science fiction, the interior architecture of space ships or interplanetary habitats is usually very cold and unaccommodating. Is this correlated to the negative psychological effects of space travel exhibited in the characters (loneliness, anxiety, paranoia, loss of identity, etc.)? Will a more humanized architecture help ease the transition into unfamiliar habitats? What qualities and methods of design would […]

• Really long list of initial ideas

  I’m having a hard time narrowing down my interests to decide which to develop further… I was hoping you could point me in the right direction as to which categories are worth further exploration. Here is a list of supplemental ideas since my last posts. Thanks! Brenna Species & processes to study/ emulate/ modify SPECIES: Coral, Bamboo, Willow […]

• Evolution and Adaptations of Architecture and its Inhabitants

  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 […]
