unlimited potential
The whole idea behind me starting this web log was to track my progress in my architectural design course, but as of yet, I have made myself too busy to make anything happen. I also seem to justify not posting anything when I haven't even worked out a design for the blog itself yet, but I am sick of that, so thus starts the posting.
As I write this I am working out the details of a full-scale site installment for my Architectural Design 7 class, I will try to provide a little history, since I am so near the end of this project and only now have I decided to start posting. The focus of this semester is on the Florida Landscape and dealing with something, obviously not urban -- this really is near and dear to my heart -- putting something out in the woods, or on the coast where you don't have other people's architecture to confront, only nature and your own crazy little head full of ideas. We were asked to come up with an "instrument" for a specific site, something that would/could be used to better understand what the site was about, why the site was special etc. My site is the Gum Root Swamp(pdf, big), just north of Newnan's lake. So why did I choose the swamp? For one, it had the word gum in it's name, and anything that isn't a supermarket candy isle and has the word gum in it's name, has to have some redeeming quality, and two, because I knew close to nothing about swamps. To avois getting too lengthy in any one post I am going to post a lot from now through monday -- when the project is due -- and hopfully get up to speed by then. If I am as lucky as I wish I were this weekend I will get some time to work out a new design by then too, but don't cross anything waiting for it, because it might get stuck that way. At the very least there will be pictures from my site and some drawings, soon.
