Last Monday, our class took a trip around our school, we took notes on the various spaces and how lighting and the height of the room can affect how it feels. we stared out in out regular classroom, overall we agreed that the room felt small, we walked out to the next class room, we all agreed it felt much bigger. the height of the roof was much taller in the second room. we then took a trip out to the cafeteria, there the roof was taller than any other of the rooms. there was also natural lights that opened up the room. we all discussed how natural light, and the height of the room can make a dramatic difference on how a room feels. Our class then walked to the balcony facing a giant glass wall, this made the room feel much more open, the celings were not that high, but the window and space open below made all the difference. one thing that I notices that made the room feel more open was the continuing wall that could be seen inside and outside. our class then went into the Woodshop room, we went up to the loft where Mr.R our teacher had lifted up several of the celing tiles. we stepped on a chair and looked up into it. we could see the whole system, and how much there really was underneath those commonly seen white tiles.

the Burning man project for me was interesting and enlightening. i found that imagining what it would be like if i was actually there helped me imagine what a structure that would actually exist in that setting. for my burning man structure, i felt as if i used savage and inequality into the makings of it. my opinion on the whole culture of burning man is very positive. I belive that in every persons life there is some need for a new experience or something to open their eyes to the world. burning man offers something more to the artists society than some other things can. this thing that people do symbolizes life and how you let things go when you move on. because of what the artist do, is before the thing is over they burn their works of art and burn them. they must let go of all of their hard work. in our class we made our very own pieces of art, as if they were to go into the the burning man itself.

Post 13, who i am.

As a designer i would say that i am fairly creative. i think of things that i would say flow together yet stand out. i have a good eye for things, and their appercance. as the designer of my building, and as a participant, it is my goal to create spaces where people can go and see a whole new world of symbolysim and creation. my building will mean something to the community, it will stand for something bigger than the building itself. when you go inside, the walls, celing, and floor will frame the outside world and bring it inside. so for the community, it will be inside of the bulding, the community will be apart of the building, and vise versa. in my building i have several favorite spaces. in my building, there is a lot of glass and natural materials that will encoperate the raw standings of its surroundings. hence my favorite space will be in the gallery with the the most natural light and open floor plans. all of my plans will flow together with meaning and symbolysim.

Burning man Narrative

The Story of Solomon.

Hundreds of years ago, there was a tribe of people. these certain people were in equal and savage compared to the rest of the men that ruled the earth. these men were different because they possessed the ability to become one with the earth. during the spring each year, they would arise from the ground, the same ground where they laid to rest the winter before. during this period of time, they would slumber beneath the land. these men were giants, as tall as the highest mountain in all of the land. they looked like the remains of a charred tree in the forest. these men would rise from the grave each year, rejuvenated, and ready to posses the land that was theirs. when they would arise, the land would tremble, and crack with hoards of ember. these people were few in numbers, and had an irksome rivalry with the human race. the humans always feared these people, because of their appearance. the humans would start wars with the tree people, but in the end, the humans would fall with defeat, but their numbers were to great, and the tree people would eventually be out numbered.
every generation of tree people, there is a new leader elected, who would lead for a hundred years. in this lifetime the new leader was called Solomon. Solomon was the most vicious, savage, but the one with the most heart. he had the ability to love, and lead his people, in a way that was never possible before. Solomon and his people lived in the desert for all of their lives, what now is known as Nevada.because of the overpopulation of humans, the tribe must stay hidden from view. they still live on to this day, waiting for the humans to meet their demise, when they can arise and reclaim the land that is rightfully theirs. their numbers have diminished greatly, but Solomon and his small tribe, stay in their home. although the tree people are savage, they posses something in their nature that the humans do not. they do not wage was among their own kind. although they are unequal, they consider themselves, and all creatures of the earth to be equals.

I plan on using my building as a frame for all the elements and surrounding presences that effect the area. i also plan on using glass to encorperate this. so all the colors will exist along with one another. naturally. i plan on the building being illuminated with natural light, and having shadows contrast across the scape of the building. the interior will also have a variety of textures. i think that texture makes a room, and it is neccisairy to use them for creating shadows and contrasts onto the wall. floor and celing. but i want to also make it natural and let all the materials exist hand in hand with the building

Looking back on all the work and what i did, i am fairly happy with all the work i have done. i had trouble getting all of my plans in order. overall i think i can communicate my ideas into my designs. for my overall bubble plans, i think i had a wide variety of plans, each individual, but at the same time, the same. for one of my plans, i did not have an idea but as i went along, i figured out what my general plan would look like, and i was happy with it. it was hard for me to think of ideas. but i find when i sketch, it helps me determine what my thought process will be.

Goals, Post 10

planning the space for everything will not be easy. the bubble diagram is meant for us to be able to get a feel for how our space will fit onto the property. i think that i will be able to fit everything ontot he property, if everything isd too big, then i will have to make some parts smaller than the others, or take out certain spaces.i would like to have several galleries, but they are not the focus of my memorial, i want the building to represent and feel like something amazing. i think i can fit all of my concepts into one building, i think it will be difficult, but in the end i can plan the spaces and figure out where everything will go, how everything will look and everything else.

Post 9 REFLECTION

Presentation reflections. For my presentation i talked about my plans and knowledge of my memorial for the architect Frank lloyd Wright. i studied examples of his architecture to better understand how i could encorperate his designs and style into my memorial of him. for my presentation i created a floorplan of a "frank lloyd wright-esque house" i combined several of frank lloyd wrights houses. i am very proud of my drawing because i felt like iw as on a role drawing it and i made several connections betweent frank lloyd wrights architecture and my own. i had several problems, i was gone for the entire winter break, and the week before i left, when i intented on working on it, the whole week of snow cancelled school. and i couldnt drive when i was intending on driving to the store to buy the materials to create my project for class.

Frank Lloyd Wright narrative

I decided I would clear my head and try and process why this exact site was picked. I thought that I would explore the town and find the culture and the history. How I could do that in just one visit, I am unsure. The streets on the main road are freshly paved. This does not interest me. I look for the street with the most history. The street with the worn road. The street with the oldest houses. When I look for history, most people look for words, or documents, pictures. I look for signs of history in architecture. The houses I look at, with the room with the shingle missing from the roof, or the brick pathway that is settling into the ground. That is history to me.
