Micro. Material Studies. Experimenting with resin was a challenge, but I think I did figure out the limitations and opportunities working with the material. Time- curing and setup and systematic processes are major limitations. If multiple pours are done (as I did to cast), time is a limit. It did detract quite a bit of

Macro:The past three weeks have been an investigation of the macro (urban) scale, and micro (material) scale of my thesis project. In this time I have established a working urban plan of the OMSI district, which has helped inform the massing of my proj… […] MACRO study From the first initial diagrams I posted in my last post, I developed a site plan which has 4 buildings, each house its own theater, scattered all over the site all the way out to the river. All of which will be connected together through a natural habitat pathway. In my drawings, the […] After the first review I realized that I was completely stuck deciding on the best site for my thesis proposal. I sort of wasted sometime doing that, but I think it was worth it since now I have a … Continue reading → This morning I listened to the first two-thirds of this years’ discussion. The two keynote speakers were interesting and hopefully helpful in terms of how I think about my thesis project. Steven Handel discussed his efforts to plan habitat patches in urban areas, like landfills. It is useful to know that the group has had […] Today I was lucky enough to be an attendee of the 9th annual Urban Ecology and Conservation Symposium. It consisted of grouped 10 minute long presentations followed with a short question answer session. The morning lectures were mainly foc… […] MICRO I’ve already blogged about the micro study so I won’t re-hash it here – instead see this post. MACRO & REVIEW It seems most appropriate to talk about these two things simultaneously so here goes… I feel like my biggest struggle with this project thus far has been the site planning and its relationship […] Macro studies After 3 weeks there were many site forces which my project hopes to address. Creating a space along the Milwaukee River corridor using the Riverwalk as a public place. This will create a stronger pedestrian connection to the site. Where to locate the building in relation to the existing grain elevator (abandoned) as […] […] After the review on Friday, I realize that I have a lot of work to do, but I do feel that the review really helped in determining a concise direction. Most of the discussion surrounded the MACRO interventions, and raised some questions about the program and what elements should take precedence within the program. I […] […] The review was very helpful in pointing me in the right direction. I realized that even though I have this specific idea of Social Tissue Creation Center ( STCC ) I was respecting the site so much that I was not engaging the surrounding area and not opening the site to its surroundings.
