Bits from final review

To be so much more than what you intended and at the same time exactly what you intended.

This is achieved though listening.

Risk, Precision, honesty in equal measure.

Drawings in a way which gives back, which gives vision.

One must ask oneself what am I avoiding.

The difference between seeing and showing. Seeing is dynamic while showing is flat.

What holds up what?... the story or the plans. Which propels the project? The fruit?

The literature of space is silent which allows for authorship. The difference between written words in literature and space/ figure literature. We speak and share or expericances though our silence our sorrows, and our despair..
idiosyncratic readings of others activate, give place space, referencing intimacy?

Our memories of places are limited. The process of thinking could be
Between>within>and beyond(new discovery)... the beyond being that moment of truth that is beyond control, beyond our time and the importances which binds us in the present. The pages of a book from memories are blank due to the fact that it was never read or even seen. In the creation of what is known and being absolutely comfortable with it.

the inversion of conventional thinking. As artifacts themselves create the facts themselves, or the works, the readings, the translations/interpretations make give the facts onto the artifacts.

You want say something specifically, yet at the same time let it say everything.

Quote Overload.

Does the order of life matter?

"The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek."— Joseph Campbell

 "If the dream is a translation of waking life, waking life is also a translation of the dream."— Rene Magritte

 "Don’t wait for your ship to come in, and feel angry and cheated when it doesn’t. Get going with something small." — Irene Kassorla

"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage."— Laozi

"A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions." -— Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.  

 "Simplicity, patience, compassion.
These three are your greatest treasures.
Simple in actions and thoughts, you return to the source of being.  Patient with both friends and enemies,  you accord with the way things are.  Compassionate toward yourself,  you reconcile all beings in the world."— Laozi (Tao Te Ching)

"This is a very important practice. Live your daily life in a way that you never lose yourself. When you are carried away with your worries, fears, cravings, anger, and desire, you run away from yourself and you lose yourself. The practice is always to go back to oneself." — Thich Nhat Hanh

"Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart… Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens."— Carl Jung"

‎”I never learned anything at all in school and didn’t read a book for pleasure until I was 19 years old." — Stanley Kubrick 

"In religion and politics people’s beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second-hand, and without examination, from authorities who have not themselves examined the questions at issue but have taken them at second-hand from other non-examiners, whose opinions about them were not worth a brass farthing." — Mark Twain, Autobiography 1959
 

"You are what you want to become. Why search anymore? You are a wonderful manifestation. The whole universe has come together to make your existence possible. There is nothing that is not you. The kingdom of God, the Pure Land, nirvana, happiness, and liberation are all you."— Thich Nhat Hanh 

Component within Story

The mold and the In-between space/cavity are whole(part of an archi(type)tecture), yet there are to be addressed as different things. Solid and void, as Object and the In-between.

Sketches + Storyboard.

Watercolor sketches of thesis project

Slip cast and spider.

Within an idea a creature has made occupancy; she was drawn to the coolness and moisture of the created space – the in-between-ness of two things.  She shifted in and out from my view in the attempt to find her next meal to devour. This space was becoming an extension of herself as her action potential of the space was becoming repetitive. the web, the ground, her legs, her body-A shell of the self. Her existence, her being, was simple within these gaps and passages she so happened to crawl into. 

Slip frames

-Hydro-cal frames for slip process.

_Our sight focuses from here to there trying not to stumble and or hit a wall. These things, these frame, los marcos, to me are horizontal and vertical elements/forms which intrigue within my unconscience mind. At time our eyes will be in transiting of two objects of similar architecture/relation and here we are in a space in-between.

McBoing Boing

there is a play of colors which I like as well as the story itself.

Quotes from sticky-notes in studio

"In Dream begins responsibility"
"Thinking is the soul talking with itself."
"Great thoughts reduced to practice becomes great acts"
"Our life always expresses the result of our dominate thoughts"
"When your heart thinks great, your soul emphasis on it."
"Learning without thought is labor lost. Thought without learning is perilous."
"Thinking is more interesting than knowing, but less interesting than looking"

GSD Herzog Lecture_Q&A

The QnA was more interesting to me than the lecture itself. It was a compressed versus of his outlook on architecture.
My summery: So he hates books(as they are means of power of the author and not value), doesn't have an architectural style(so he says), and loves paradox within his work (acknowledgement of idiosyncratic means and instinctive beauty which slightly differs from each person.)
