Will Langston Modi Blog Week 3

 Will Langston MODI BLOG WEEK 3      It was hard for me to choose from so many ideas while tr ying to research topics of interest. The brainstorming parts of the reading were very helpful and made it easy to be able to get out what was all in my head before settling on two topics. I'm really in terested in the idea of speculative design/architecture and how that might inform designs of actual contemporary built spaces. The works of Daniel K. Brown, Bryan Cantley, and Perry Kulper inspire me, and their ideas of pushing design forward with their storytelling through hybrid drawings.  I want to be able to have a method where I analyze or create these types of drawings in my capstone. I think it could be exciting to explore ideas of how this type of speculative drawing could develop real world architecture, or how this type of drawing informs architects on the future of design development in the built environment.  Here is a site analysis drawing I did in my second year:      The goal

Exploring Methods from Case Study

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 different

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
