Art & Science Of Building. Formation Or Construction Resulting From Conscience Act.
A collaboration between both hemispheres of the human mind to create structure and habitat that is appealing and performative. Using methods that are a derivative of the compilation of knowledge and experience that is unique to the individual and employing these skills to derive a solution that is more than just a solution; appealing to a certain aesthetic based on an arbitrary value system and influences both conscientiously and unconsciously. (Not limiting practice to only structure and habitat but in all aspects of the individuals life as different manifestations by way of employing processes and methodologies that leave a resultant characteristic evident when all is considered.)

Dymaxion Deployment Unit (1940)
Developed For The British In The 1960’S And Later Used By Americans For Various Purposes As Base Structures In The South Pacific. Many Have Since Used The Reminisce Of The Units And Convert/ Update Them As Homes.
The Dymaxion Deployment unit was part of a larger idea/ program Richard Buckminster Fuller had been developing since 1927. It was summer when driving through country side that he noticed 100s of identical grainstorage bins on farms. All produced by butler manufacturing company of Kansas city. The grain-storage bins were very popular because of their superior design and quality. Fuller realized he could easily adapt these as shells for small pre-fabricated housing. He estimated that with mass production that the unit could be produced for as little as $1 a sqft.
During the development while under construction the owner of butler walked into one of the units while it was lifted in the air found that the unit was actually quit cool even though its made of steel and the outdoor temperature was near 90. It took bucky and his engineers to realize what was causing the phenomenon. This air conditioning was the result of a larger opening on the underside and a smaller opening atop that caused the hot air within the unit to rush from the bottom to the top as it its temperature rose.

There are 3 rooms that could be sub-divided and used as needed. The main living area is above grade and is an oval dome with 3 windows that are 180º wide. These provide plenty of light and exposure to much needed southern sun. Underground are two large rooms that each have a large light tube to bring in radiant heat and light throughout the day via a tube with a highly reflective surface. Keeping warth in the structure is done by keeping most the livable space underground and inclosing it in thick concrete envelopes that absorb heat and light through out the day and radiate it at night, The oval shapes of the exterior structure are designed and aligned in such a way that high winds will move around it efficiently.

Notre Dame Malibu
What Type of imagery is being used and how does this compare and contrast?
Norte Dame Paris is taken with a Classical Sense. The Cathedral itself is almost second to the trees in the foreground. The Horizon only exists as the outline of the forefront trees and that of the cathedrals towers. Nothing indicating Location or Orientation is pictured. Contrast this with the Malibu Mountain which is taken in a more Classical Format. There is a foreground with several trees that could be identified with some low shrubs and plain grass areas just pass these trees. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a middle ground of two mountains in the distance with a valley between them that allows a view of distant mountains that are fading to white. The boundaries in both images are fairly clear; more so in the cathedral then the mountains. The cathedral is bright stonework and off blue roofs and towers stand out and loud amongst the darker blue sky and the woody leafless trees in the foreground. The fact that there are no other structures beyond trees make the cathedral seem very object like with a complexity of form. The mountains could be considered monotone in that it is mostly composed of greens and yellows. The fore and middle ground almost blend into one another, a result of the tree line and mountains having similar tone. Compared to the cathedral the mountains are far from object like and feel and look more like flat sections placed behind one
another than a physical 3d form. Water is absent from both images but light is quite plentiful. The mountains have considerable more light that tend to wash out the background and middle ground. Whereas the cathedral seems to be more balanced and the side facing is gathering enough light to highlight the many details of its construction. The cathedrals large masonry components as well as intricate stone lace are very apparent as well as an abundance of ornamentation which is a stark contrast to the serene absent of structure and detail in the landscape with has more curvature.

\Litho vs Rhino.03\.
Representation
What are the advantages and disadvantages of these two forms of representation.
Lithographs and Woodcuts alike have the wonderful advantage of being able to produce the same image in mass quantities for numerous years. They last if properly maintained for easily over 100 years. Production is straight forward but the printing can be loving pains. Craving is rather simple and at times just annoying. Laying down lines in the hard linoleum pad on wood enabled good detailing. However, fine lines are a pain. Initially using a tool that you pull you can get good solid lines though getting a really fine line or detailing was more difficult. Not so much in creating it on the linoleum but getting that fine detail to show up in the printing process. Excavating took a rather bit of time to leave space for white areas but the result worth it. Working on smaller pieces of the linoleum block and working by its edges you soon realize how brittle the medium is. It can come off in chunks if one isn’t careful. The real nice thing is that it is rather easy to go back and make corrections as long as you are mindful in starting more conservatively. Though what is first thought as excessive isn’t really, exaggeration is needed in order to obtain the right detail.
I can imagine that depending on the purpose one is better than the other. As far as illustrative purposes I think lithographs have a certain aesthetic and appeal that is far more ideal than a render from Rhino. People tend to appreciate and connect with methods of representation that are closer to the hand of man. Rhino Modeling and rendering is far too clean in a matter or speaking and can come off as something that is fake and too perfect; it lacks character. My lithograph people thought was funny and my Rhino Rendering people thought it was cool. Two completely different reactions to the same subject being represented. I prefer people getting a laugh over “its cool” and getting asked how did you do that”. Neither is truer than the other. Both can be made with extreme detail; it becomes a matter of the skill and mastery of each production method. The lithograph is limited in use as it’s only able to be printed media where as the rhino model can produce many images and could also be used to produce a physical representation though tooling and molding techniques. The Rhino Model has more potential a production sense where as will only be a form of printed media.

\Viollet-Le-Duc.03\.
Structural Rationalism
What are the advantages and disadvantages of these two forms of representation.
Eugene-Emmanuel Viollet-le-duc wrote 11 books; some of which were composed of multiple volumes. They dated from 1840â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to the 1870â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. These books contained his ideas on what he thought were the best historical examples of good architecture and how material should be put to use. He also discusses how plan and construction methods are equally important and should have a correlation and response to one another. Materials in his opinion should reflect its own methods of procurement and each material should have its own set of building methods unique to it. Mixing materials and construction methods that are true to the materials, organized and respondent to the plan and function of the building will result in Viollet-le-ducâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opinion a building of worth that does not have any superfluous structure or ornament and it will function as it needs to and will be appealing to the senses. The French Gothic Architecture for Violletle-duc represents a building methodology that was representative and an achievement given their lack of resources and there desire to create large spanning monumental spaces. The lack of timber for framing and the queries for large stone resulted in a construction method that was pure and simple structure that supported its self with out the need of heavy thick walls. Thus creating a skeletal type structure that would be in close alignment to its purpose and rational (fig . 6).
YEK0052
For Viollet-le-duc this method of construction was closer aligned with the Greeks rather than the Roman primarily because the ornamentation was incorporated and built into the structural members as part of its construction rather than an after thought or application of material in addition to the structure without any reasoning. What was rather inelegant about the french method of construction was the need for extra support during the construction process for the vaults while they set, which was years. This was the sort of barbaric type of construction and unnecessary work that the Greeks would never bring themselves to do. In Contrast to the Romans the French did not play as close attention to the planning and the structure. The Romans had a thick and heavy building system that resulted in a well insulated building that would not be affected by weather and outside conditions of the area; where as the French Gothic with its relatively thin walls and skeletal structure resulted in the easy transfer of the cold and wet conditions of the winter and the hot and humid conditions of the summer. Though structurally elegant it was not suited to most climates.

To help with this decision splitting the whole model into eight seems logical in determining which are best pursued.

Creating Architecture for a new society that has yet to come into existence and developing architecture to solve problems yet to be realized or solved. Developing and orientating city planning to take into considerations that are beyond pure functionalism and become more humanistic. Camillo Sittes was one of the first to be opposed to functionalism and state that planning empty space should be just as important and diligently planned as the built structure. It is a necessity of the city. He also states that cities need a balance between the monumental and the picturesque, a balance between straight lines and wavy lines. It was through a pragmatic approach of urban development that only a few took seriously and those that did were recognized and rewarded. The Mayor of Brussels first to implement these ideals.

Each takes ideas of low cost residential living with emphasis on the humanistic accommodations and open communal green space with streets lined with trees and individualized units; ensuring light and ventilation. These units are also regulated and manipulated through a housing typology as a way to introduce and maintain an economy as well as individuality. Common humanist goals both fall under suspicion of social criticism as they carry intrinsic themes of socialism embedded in these said ideals. It is through these architectures, one drawn and one built, that a discourse becomes evident through ideas of organization, economy, and ideal solutions for the worker and common man.

Coming from amoeba and Arclight the lobby and offices are just north or the sound box is straight ahead which allows you to hear what being played below. Further ahead you descend into the theatre or head above to hear whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playing in the sound tunnels. Coming from ground works straight ahead is a stage that ascends and projects out onto the street. The center is open below where two studios are and the surrounding is green space for lunch.

\Final.05\.Site Context Composite Of Rhino Vray Renders And Site Photographs During The Day And At Night.
The usually hustle and bustle of the everyday on sunset is evident during the and the musician on the triumph lugging a guitar is classic. The building sits large when compared to the buildings behind but is a nice middle ground when compared to the film school to the east and cnn building to the south west. At night the streets are quite and the same goes for the building. As if just completed and waiting for the mania that ensues when a show is going on and people are partying and jamming all night long.

The louvers were built and articulated the same as in the drawing. Physical representation being the most effective generally this was worth the week spent building.
