Beyond Familiar Grounds

Masters Project | Fall 2014 - Spring 2015 The research for my masters project was inspired by the great explainers of ideas and their ability to synthesise complex concepts into accessible information for a larger audience. Initially inspired by the clear and wonder evoking scientific writings by Carl Sagan, my pursuit to understand this popularization phenomena continued from my interest in Astronomy to Biology, Particle Physics, Political Science and a category of fiction called magical realism.

The work I constructed was focused on the graphic and physical representations of the information I was reading. Creating these narratives from the text was a way to extrapolate these theories into an architectural familiar method of presentation and attempt to gain some new methods of representation.

A large part of my research and a continuation of it revolves around the idea of a personal liberal arts education and how it can add to the foundation of an architectural education. I believe this information is valuable because it helps to expand the typical knowledge gained in architectural studios with environmental, scientific, literary and cultural knowledge helping me further gain an appreciation for architectures placement in the tapestry of human pursuits.
