Previously I presented an interest in the design of an orbital platform that would act as something between an industrial town and an airport. I want to present this platform as an interface location, a confluence of information and materials in an exchange amongst locations on Earth, and between the planet and colonies off in […]
In order to enter into the design of the behavior of the orbital colony, I’m doing diagrammatic research on the smallest scale of intervention, the human scaffold. The following diagrams view the body as a set of interrelating networks. I am analyzing the health problems connected with extended spaceflight in terms of the […]
In Emergence, Steven Johnson lays out a network order based in the localized knowledge and reaction base of ant colonies. Quite convincingly, he outlines how these systems can relate to human society, where the potential disorder of the city street can cause chance encounter to generate population interaction and global change. The disconnect is in […]
When societal constructs are considered as networks, the notion of an interface becomes massively important. Be this between two simple elements within a larger web, or a junction where multiple ordered networks meet, interface links people, materials and information together across disparate organizations. My interest revolves around the architecture of this condition, and when one […]
