• DNA Technology

  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.

• 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 […]

• 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 […]

• Relevance and Adaptation

  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 […]

• 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 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 […]

We keep nature at bay constantly because if we weren’t here to keep it under control, it would over take the cities we created so carefully while destroying […]
