So this is the material fringe project. A few sheets of newspaper are folded together then fed into a shredder creating varying lengths of fringe. They are then assembled together to create a sheet of varying fringe lengths that create a grade of fluff. The structure is just used as an armature. It is essentially a torqued tent frame.

The idea is to utilize material, color, texture and light to enhance sensibilities of space. It is more of a reaction to purist, Modernist ideas about material working from the "decor" of 80s postmodernism and into building cosmetics. Eisenman vs. Herzog and de Meuron.

Pictures coming soon. however here are some diagrams to keep you busy.

1 in 20 Americans have partaken in this light of God cash cow, and yet, I'm still not surprised. In conclusion: the financial retardation of Kinkade's George W. tested, Walmart approved shared values gimmick makes me finally appreciate Jeff Koons. You're welcome Koonsy.  Continue

Yes it's a box and it's beautiful

Exterior watercolor of the GSP expansion comprehensive project. I'm working with Jessica Jeager. And she is pretty much awesome. The project uses dark and light as a way to direct movement. Light fills this 4 story space where the top two stories break above the ground bringing light into the bottom two stories which are submerged underground. The entry to the airport is underground allowing a public garden to surround the box and creating an architecture to emerge in the forest and surrounding landscape.

We are still working on a shading device which must celebrate the glass box without covering it and dissolving its idea.

Any ideas? Continue

glass menagerie final model

I had a lot of fun lighting this model.  It was interesting to go back and explore the show from a different perspective.  I wanted to create a space that was ethereal but at the same time had the menacing and heavy presence of a collapsed building.  The structural elements are inspired by rays of light through a fire stair.  I think if I take more photos, I would have some with the background structures totally blacked out, which I think would help soften the space.

Working on "The Hothouse" by Harold Pinter next.

Do I hate this project because it's too theoretical or just because I don't get it?

They're the best real estate team in SC, so I'm excited to spread my geisha wang-ness...ps i need to make a tranny book on lulu from that night. I'm sad that i have to dress semi-conservative-ish and not show any leg:( Continue
