It’s been a long road up to this point, the final review of my project. I was able to manage my time so that I accomplished everything I set out to do for my final boards– a fact that was not missed by my reviewers. My graphics received high praise from reviewers and passers-by alike, […] […] I finished putting my boards together, wanted to share. Off to the printer! […] To say the end of the term was extremely difficult for me would be a bit of an understatement. After presenting what I thought would be my final design, I got the more of the same critiques that I’ve been getting all term: I need to connect with the rest of the site; I need […] […] Architecturally, how does a building respond to its natural environment? Is it a blank canvas? A backdrop for nature? The brutalist structures of Evergreen State College Does it interpret natural forms? Mimic materials? Teton mountains and forests interpreted at the visitor center Or does it act more like window into its surroundings?

The “three-fingered” plan is based on the idea that a school of 400 […] […] After Wednesday’s pin-up, and in the wake of my recent divorce, I’ve found it necessary to refocus my design efforts before I move on. So: I am designing a school for environment as integrated context for learning (EIC). With the building form and site design, I aim to reexamine the relationship between in- and outdoors. More simply, […] […] Eric Strauss gave a talk at Boston College entitled “Urban Ecology: A New Science for Revitalizing America’s Cities.” Among other things, he illuminates important ties between urban ecology and social equity. The quality and character of the urban landscape is how people view nature. If most people are living in cities and most young people are […] […] At the heart of urban ecology is the idea (which is strangely new to Western civilization) that the species homo sapien is, like every other organism in the universe, part of an ecosystem. As human beings, we are fantastic competitors. We have learned to out-compete almost every other species for food, land, water, and other resources; […] […] |
