Project 1c | take 5






After several tries for the movements of the black planes, I think this is the best one.

Project 1 | A0 - draft


This draft is a try to use minimal elements to summarize the project. I am tempted to add more images, but at the same time, I am also tempted to take away all the texts. Any suggestion?

Project 1c | Section by Frame


Two black planes are placed facing the camera perpendicularly. Different parts of the construct are revealed as they move and rotate.








I tried to use flash instead of quicktime movie. It allows me to get rid of the blogger or youtube bar and the animation can really blend in the black background of this blog.

Greg Lynn | Probable Geometries

In this essay, Greg Lynn discussed the critique that writing is essentially an "anti-architectural gesture" defined against geometric purity. Philosopher Denis Hollier suggested that architecture is the discipline that resists the play of writing more than any other. In contrast to the indeterminate, nonideal, heterogeneous, undecidable and other vague characteristics of writing, architecture has historically linked with the complete, pure forms of exact geometries, and thus is critiqued as reducible, static, exact, fixed, proportional, and identically reproducible. But He argued that with the development and explorations of the measurement and description of amorphous matter through "anexact yet rigorous" geometries (surch as stereometry), architecture's fixed orthogonality is moved closer to vital matter while retaining a rigorous system of measure.
