A possible scheme?

Take a look at this video below. It is one of my ideas for a map, showing the sectional relationships in the spaces i am working with.

Also, Please let me know what you think-

Beginning of my Mapping Process

In the beginning of my process studies, i have been looking at the differences of green scape vs hard scape. In my drawings, i have taken the footprint and massing of the buildings themselves and extruded them down into the plane of paper. The higher the building the deeper the void into the space. My idea was to show the physical and emotional qualities of the green scape into the university as a whole. I will then experiment with the differences of grass vs dense tree coverage vs paved areas vs water scape.

How can these natural environments effect the space as a whole?
How can these green habitats enlighten the space?
How do people interact with these areas?
How does the interstitial spaces interact with the surroundings?

This is my task-

From the Shell to the Sea

I was focusing on creating a program inside this space that was fluid and continous. Free Flowing. Like the Sea.

From the Shell of the building, to the Sea of the flowing spaces inside-


The shell of the building


A view from the top into the model

View 2


View 3

As you can see, the spaces from the building continually flow into the base, and the division line between the two is eliminated from within.

My Book

My studio project was a book on motion.

Here is the video that describes and shows my project.

Blogs below really give a good depth of my thinking of this project.

In the handle of the book, there is a mechanism that moves back and fourth as the observer moves the book. This is supposed to cause movement, and a startled motion which lets the observer feel the power of the book moving in his hands.

Take a look and let me know what you think-

Im creating a book...

I saw a friend today walking to studio and she asked me what i was working on in studio.

i quickly responded with, "im creating a book" ... and it made me stop and think.

Im creating a book. Im creating a book. Im creating a book.

Im actually creating a book.

I told her that I was to explain in my book of MOTION how apples fall from trees, how clouds form, how rain falls, how birds fly, how one thought chases another, and where one thought goes after it is finnished.

Then, as she glares in confusement, she says what are you gonna write about?

-Write? -Write? -Write?

Im not going to write a word in the book.
The book will tell many stories, but without a word. You cant read it page by page. Each page, taken out of sequence, has no story to the book. The book works as a whole. Each page needing the page before it and the page after it. And therefore, the book, in theory, should be infinite.

What is infinite of my book.
It travels through time.
Time becomes an element.
Time is infinite.

So let me explain how apples fall from trees, how clouds form, how rain falls, how birds fly, how one thought chases another, and where one thought goes after it is finnished, without a word. The book will speak to you. YOU.

You.

Who are you?

Are you a reader of my book?

Are you?

Nope. You are not a reader. There is nothing to read. You are an Experience-er.
You are a time traveler.
An Infinite time traveler.

Book Of Motion

Motion.

Movement.

Action.

all these encounter one denominator.

Time.

What is motion with out time?
- a picture. a frame. an image. A still life.

Time must become a variable.

So be it.

My book will move you.
You will move my book.

Then you will both dance in harmony.

Cool book idea

This would be an interesting book to try to create.

Any ideas on it?
