Legos for grownups

I think it would be interesting if people could design and build entire houses as easy as it is to make a custom set of legos.

Mussotter Slides

Here is a sampling of Michael Mussotter's old slides. The originals are scans of what I could collect from his slide collection. Those interested in seeing more may wish to let me know...

Lubbock Texas Grain Silos - 120mm

Grain Silos of Lubbock, Texas designed by Chalmers & Borton in 1956. these are some of the tallest structures in the city. They rival the height of the Wells Fargo Bank and buildings at Texas Tech University. I dug up a few photos that were taken with my Yoshika 120 gMat. Enjoy these images in all their 120mm glory.

Visuospatial Perception

This is one component of cognitive functioning and it refers to our ability to process and interpret visual information about where objects are in space.

This is an important aspect of cognitive functioning because it is responsible for a wide range of activities of daily living.

For instance, it underlies our ability to move around in an environment and orient ourselves appropriately. Visuospatial perception is also involved in our ability to accurately reach for objects in our visual field and our ability to shift our gaze to different points in space.

The association areas of the visual cortex are separated into 2 major component pathways, and are believed to mediate different aspects of visual cognition. In humans, he parieto-occipital region is believed to process visuospatial and visual motion types of information. Whereas, the inferotemporal region of the brain is believed to mediate our ability to process visual information about the form and color of objects.

In my quest to understand architecture I believe it is first important to understand how architecture is perceived. The key to understanding perception is to understand where it comes from, the brain.

Turner Exhibits

Ever wondered what you'd do instead of going to an architectural firm where you drafted a majority of the time? Well check out a firm that specializes in drawing, crafting, and machining all the cool brainstorms you wanted to put into your projects! Turner Exhibits is that firm. The slayers of dull and drab do-make cool and awesome things happen for designers and architects, notably the firms Anderson-Wise & Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen. The clever use of materials and custom 'kinetic-architecture' makes me jealous and leaves me drooling!

Andy Rementer

I found Andy Rementer's Techno Tuesday posts via Public School or The Post Family ... Techno Tuesday is a hilarious short comic posted each Tuesday - they just kept cracking me up. The illustrations are witty and full of expression paired with a sense of wit and irony for our digital habits. crack up here.

Skeleton Row Houses

These townhomes were never finished because of the "Recession" in 2009. The land has changed owners 4 times and the wood has begun to rot. The developers primed over the framing a few weeks ago in an attempt to preserve the structure. I guess they still plan on selling these to a family. I have more ideas I want to pursue so look in the coming weeks for more photographs.
