CONTINUOUS THISTLES
CONTINUOUS THISTLES- Advanced Drawing Procedures
(1) Digital scripting tests explored within Processing, then exported as a live vector source:
(2) Digital to Analog filtration is expressed by various fabrication techniques allowing for new opportunities:
(3) Analog stitching on acrylic plates provides an enhanced intended relationships and connections. All stitching is one continuous thread:
(4) A triptych is then used to describe an iterative series and sequence of opportunities within the designer's applied rule sets:

I created this series of of collages with inspiration of found imagery, textures, objects, words, numbers and scenes - then interpreted, placed, and arranged the scenes. adding motion to the flatness of the collage with illustrative systems of simple machines like pin connections, joints, pulleys, ropes, hatches, swing arms assert movement. each panel/fold is representative of an act, a starting point and together are one play.

Inbound : Houston
Using 13 billboards along the city's downtown freeways, Olivier has replaced the usual advertisements with images of the urban landscape that would be visible if the billboard did not exist - the sky, trees, and buildings obstructed by the ads will now be "revealed.
As a native Houston I find that this instillation strikes numerous chords with me. To begin with, the idea that there is one less billboard in the world brings peace to my day. Also, the idea that the average commuter might notice these and maybe question these objects that have become part of everyday life.
As a side note the artist recieved major funding to pay for the advertising space. This only perpetuates the idea that these advertising companies will do anything for a buck, even if it is a direct critique of how their business models have lead to an over saturation of clutter throughout the city.

On my TOP SITES board I have locked in: FB, Craigslist, AIA job board, AIASF job board, Archinect job board, BLNKT homesite [my new collaborative's homepage], Twitter, the BIG 4401, and the rest fill in with other most visited sites. LOVE IT
PeopleFund Center For Economic Opportunity
PeopleFund is a non profit organization "PeopleFund is a non-profit dedicated to creating economic opportunity." This weekend they held their Conference on Economic Opportunity - more can be found at their website.This project is located in East Austin near the MLK rail stop. The developers of the site have planned to eventually incorporate mixed use occupancy as well as two other non profits, Austin Children's Museum and Sustainable Foods. I have been on this project from the schematic design phase, design development, construction documents and now into construction administration. Its a small 2 story facility, 10,000 SF, hope to attain LEED silver certification and it is to be completed by the end of summer 2010.
The rendering is from the SW corner looking NE, Clark Keitel from our St. Louis office does most of our watercolor renders for using as marketing for the client as well as showing clients an idea of the finished building. I'd like to model in sketchup and illustrate to give a different method of review for marketing. Give me ideas!!
Hope to keep the blog updated as we enter and continue through construction!
