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 […]
Introducing a stockpile into a void creates a closed system. Where there was nothing now stands a set of entities, possibly simple or symbiotic that can survive from that resource and others use of that resource. Depending on the complexity of the stockpile different simple forms of life can procreate. These allow for a large […]
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 […]
A constant in history is the displacement and the movement of populations across the planet. Whether it is because of famine, drought, war, disease, and even environment disasters, humans have been traversing the face of the planet since the beginning. Most recently because of civil warfare in Syria that began in March 2011 the number […]
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 […]

There is no argument that the world is getting smaller with technological advancement such as the wheel, the boat, and internet. One has no choice but to surrender to the idea that they are a part of this invisible network, whether they like it or not. Today, globally the main form of exports is information. […]
Here is a link to my internal review video from the review on Wednesday. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcvwsCOxKYE\ To kickstart my project, I have been reading Elias Canetti’s book Crowds and Power, and extracting quotes that are relevant for the crowd logics I am studying and attempting to model. This PDF shows all of the quotes I extracted with important phrases (for […]
One of the very first pages of the Geologic Now PDF has a string of phrases across the page. One reads “Design for an Infinite Quarantine”. In the context of the readings, I realized that we are the infectious disease and it is the earth that needs to be protected. Over the time humans have […]
Every species is in a state of constant evolution. Humans are an interesting species as we evolve not just physically but also technologically. We live in symbiosis with countless other species and cells yet we have never tried to communicate through them. A New language could be established through architecture. The bottom bread spends his […]
