Through the constant acquisition of knowledge, both an individual, and its’ corresponding society advance. By means of analytical interpretation, graphic discourse, and mental dexterity one is able to attain a small glimpse of the past and its’ once glorious epoch.
Exploring the Pueblo, RUSSELL
Here we find the constant function of analytical dissemination as it encounters the boundaries of unknown paradigms and timeless cultures by analyzing the land, the sky, and their corresponding cultural characteristics.

RUSSELL
Initiating the discourse of anthropological research, one can begin to observe the functional dynamic between the sky and the land; much like the ancestors of our civilization did. It is here, within the fine fabric that composes the horizon, that society began. In their constant struggle, and with curios naivety, the PRIMORDIAL OBSERVERS found the initial patterns observable to the naked human eye; bringing forward from the unknown depths of the uncharted space of the cosmos the initial stages of human Cosmic Intelligence. In a seemingly futile attempt to re-GENERATE the fabric of human intellect diagrams are created to analyze what once was and continues to be.

Once an initial fragment of the vapid notions of LAND and SKY are generated, one can begin with the functional notions of analytical endeavours. It is by overlapping in an
ANALOG 2-[D]IMENSIONAL fashion that one is able to recreate a fragment of the ephemerally temporal notion of the movement between the sky and the land. By watching this constant dance between these two endless partners one can begin to see the faded veins that slowly bring man closer and closer to the Unfaced Truth. In admiration and reverence to the stars man found the beginning fathoms of the ocean of Consciousness. In Chaco Canyon man created kivas, round circular openings in the ground, to represent the plight of Consciousness from lower levels to this one.

Once understood it is imperative that the operations that were used in order to generate the previous efforts are employed in a manner which then develops the generated object further. By repeating the generative process one can begin to see through the various layers of actuated potentials. Within this ACTUATED POTENTIAL one finds the necessary components to begin to generate a kiva, the earthwork, and a community.

RUSSELL
After the initial understanding of the Land and the Sky one can bring about the notions of what a kiva is; what its’ purpose IS, WAS, and WILL be. After initiating the discourse with the kiva, one can begin to generate ideas that dictate where certain objects, places and experiential nodes will be based on the knowledge gathered from the analytical functions derived from the previous exercise. This generates a function that serves its’ own need and generates its’ own order. By disseminating graphically what could be one can find what is and isn’t there.

At this point one begins to bridge the gap from the lower levels of uni- and bi-dimensional existence into the full realm of three-dimensional functions. Here one begins to construct the constructs of human potential, his necessities both physically and for SELF-ACTUALIZATION. It is this constant necessity for self-actualization that brings about a congregation of humanitarian efforts. Herein one finds the paradigm of human interaction and his constant fear of the unknown. The elements initially unknown are how the human begins to take form of the space around him. In finding TOOLS and MATERIALS man creates the necessary items that are required for his manipulation of the environment. Trying to grab both the air and the earth man finds himself again grasping at thin air.
pg 11
Here one begins to create the point from which the rhizome of society will commence. FINDING the correct location depends as much on the soil as it does on the heavens above. By constructing the super-imposition of the constellations above the site one seeks to find the LIMINAL space between the perceived trajectories of the luminous bodies above . Present, Past and Future paths all converge on this moment. Bringing forward the notion of CULTURE

Once one formulates the initial stages of communal behaviors one must revisit the connection of the sky to the land on a much closer scale.

Carving of spatial notions through Combination of previous methods
3DIMENSIONAL EXTRUSION
By taking the ideas generated by cultural engagement and their visual representation the previous graphic was generated. In conjunction with the path diagram one can begin to formulate the notions of a three-dimensional product INHABITABLE by man. Using string as a fourth-dimensional component thus allows for the tracking of position, MOVEMENT, and a changing envelope that can morph through various iterations while remaining static. Found here are the remnants of man, DESTROYED by analytical factions that lead seemingly to nowhere.
pg 17
One then takes from the many, and brings a few. One then must bring these notions back into higher realms of existence to fully understand human notions of behavior.

Using the endless generator of linear fragments created by the previous methods one is able to encapsulate a small portion of what could be by again diluting the HIGHER REALMS of dimensional existence back into lower planes. By taking the illuminated accounts of the string and its’ parent lines one is found with a realm of function that goes farther than the COGNITIVE ABILITIES of this human body.

Found here is a COMMUNITY with an amphitheatre built into the side of the cliff. The project seeks to connect the sky and the earth by bridging the community at the bottom of the cliff with one at the top meant for spiritual exploration. The connection between the land and the sky is one that must be made internally within the heart and mind of each individual that enters the realms of the community. One must shed the outside to go INSIDE. pg 20

Finally one arrives at the endless boundary between EXTERNAL STIMULUS and internal fluctuations of the psyche. It is here that we find the necessary ingredients that lead forward into the fictitious lands of what could.

Swiss- cheese Berlin is what remained after the War; that’s how it has remained until this day due to the sprawling development that is the city of Berlin. Through empty alleys and a constant discovery of new courtyards to explore Berlin opens to the visitor slowly. She waits and sees beyond the temporal existence of the self and attracts fictitious encounters with corners and pediments that form the fabric of the city.

The project seeks to accommodate a series of urban activities. Situated within the remnants of a bombed site the construct seeks to connect three streets of various levels of ACTIVITY by lifting off of the ground and creating a permeable ground layer that allows for movement in all directions; allowing for both pedestrian and bicycle traffic. The project seeks to integrate all aspects of life with each other, bringing about a full and VIBRANT MIX of activity on all levels of the building, within the courtyards, and along the street edge.

This exploration delves into the architectural realization of the high-line project through systems, structure, and construction documents. Within a per-existing shell, the plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and fire systems are installed according to code along with structural details to supplement the construction plan. Throughout the development of the project, specific systems had to be designed to enable the unique aesthetic of the design. The hierarchical cantilever space and the suspended skin system were designed together to maximize material use and the buildings integrity.

Located within the district of Chelsea, in New York, this project seeks to invite the public in as much as the High Line-an abandoned train track revitalized into a novel, above ground park. Accessed through a plaza that slopes down, the building is open to the public for the 3 levels above the plaza. In an attempt to fixate the culture of the High Line and create a symbiotic relationship with art the building becomes an annex to the Morgan Library in which the topic of Restoration is primordial.

From the main manifold, the extinguishing agent is led through distribution valves to the protected spaces. The valve construction, cylinder size, and cylinder pressure, combined with the computer calculated pipe and nozzle dimensioning, ensures that the extinguishing agent is distributed in correct quantities and within the prescribed time. The release is activated pneumatically, electrically and/or mechanically. This system is necessary in order to not damage any of the work that is housed in the museum in case of a need for fire extinguishing.

This project aims at exploring the interstitial space between positive city spaces in a dense area to maximize the walkable journey. By deliberately seeking out the obscure leftovers between buildings, the designer is left with the opportunity to use the structure of an intentionally designed environment to grow “barnacles� of architectural play in unexpected pockets. Eventually, these sporadic installations can grow into nodes on a mental map of brief reprieves from the constancy of the city.

The Increasingly dense cities of the Northeast are in need of urban complexes to accommodate housing and service needs. By designing an all inclusive space for all a city-dweller’ needs, Boston will approach the goal of being a “walkable city.” The parameters for such a large scale urban project include green spaces, affordable housing, office space, and retail areas along the ground. Ideally, an inhabitant could subsist for an indefinite amount of time in the highly designed bubble of buildings.
