I have been informed that my four abstracts could potentially blend into into one, sounds good to me, saves me from choosing one right away.
Roughly, I think I stand in the general pool of architecture as tool or building as tool. Then within that I move to the tools of building, or even more fun buildings that are tools, Buildings that are tools quickly blends into buildings that are machines, and bam! I can put, prosthetics, mills and industrial buildings into one fantastic bundle, one that I can explore through architectural scholarship, documentation, and of course design. This will also allow me to investigate multiple aspects of the same theme to gain a picture of what is really there. It's not that I have a short attention span or something, but I do.
I also want to structure my own production in such a way that allows for a relatively quick turnover of projects, in evolutionary terms I would like to allow for as many generations of designs and or research to take place within a given time span. To be wholly focused on short term deadlines that involve: a case study, some research, and a design every month, with the goal of achieving 6-8 individual projects that all expand on a theme -architecture as tool / machine - in order to generate a body of work and a cohesive idea from separate projects, a kind of aggregated thesis. I hope it will show a process as opposed a finished product. This will also allow me to determine the thesis as I work, as I produce, a bottom up approach to a thesis.
First step in this process, a step that will be ongoing is the collection and cataloging of the images projects and inspiration that I find, The blog will serve this primary purpose of cataloging -cause I can link to what i find really easily- while also providing a platform for me to write down my thoughts as few and passing as they may be.
