Exploring Methods from Case Study

Image
Will Langston I have selected the thesis of Daniel Barker:  Collage, Perspective, and Space: The Consequences of the Method of Mies van der Rohe This thesis was very helpful to start to understand that maybe I do not know everything about my topic yet, but through method exploration I can begin to understand some key aspects of what I am trying to understand. Because it seems that when looking at his thesis. It is obvious that through these collage methods he was able to understand how Miles was using things such as proportion, perspective, and space to inform his design methods. This could very well apply to what I am trying to accomplish in my thesis. Possibly creating a set of drawings that could help me explore how we begin to build to adapt to interplanetary environments.  Being able to tell a story through my thesis is something that I have been thinking about doing ever since the beginning weeks of this class. I want to potentially take the readers, on a journey of how ...

Reflecting

Will Langston Thinking About Feedback from the Honors Committee Presenting my ideas and getting feedback was a good way to think about how I want to adapt my research moving forward... I have been thinking about future settlements or built environments that can adapt to high danger environments that we are unfamiliar with. The honors committee asked that the ideas don't really seem like they involve outer-space necessarily, and I haven't looked at it that way before. They suggested that maybe it does not involve space, but rather just the planet itself, because maybe the planet that has this really drastic environment could be the Earth in the far away future.  Potentially, what if our planets orbit becomes elliptical, meaning that it will only be habitable in the summer. Meaning that other life on the planet hibernates or nests eggs in the winter to repopulate in the summer time. I think researching or picking one area of an environment and making it extreme and showing how fu...

Week 4

Will Langston MODI BLOG WEEK 4               In the previous week when I was brainstorming possible thesis questions, they all really centered around a main idea of speculative architecture. What I am defining as speculative architecture is architecture that is representative of forward thinking of the built environment and holds ideas that push the boundaries of what regular people would automatically think of when someone says architecture. And this style opens itself to be inherently objective and controversial.                 So I wanted to do some digging into some articles on speculative architecture. I was looking for articles that might explain the wild/wacky drawings that are seemingly unrelated to architecture and these two articles really stood out to me.   Speculative Architecture - ArchDaily   Idea-Building - Daniel K. Brown           ...
