I like Steve Jobs because he produced quality and didn't give a shit.

O.G. Jobs

Programmatic agencies + formal study

Tuesdays are generally rather dull with Architecture Technology, (we are working on plumbing and bathroom systems) and structures... which is... well, boring. 

So I'm going to post some photos which feel like fall in Chicago.

The Skyline was Beautiful on Fire

The Black Flag Blues

Godspeed is a good indicator about how I feel about Mondays. Regardless, still programming for studio after working at Jimenez' place yesterday, which is awesome. A screen shot of in-progress but a bigger post on Wednesday, jury day.

 Programmatic Relationships

Time to get down on Friday

Program Diagram for a 1,000,000 sq.ft. museum. Split 33% into Cultural [Grey], Making [Teal], and Living [Orange] components. More detail coming of the explanation of how this exactly works, but studio has become an excuse for me to make cool things, which I feel like has been the point all along.

Back in action

It's been awhile, but I'm going to try and get back to updating, not once a month, but EVERY DAY. Pretty exciting I know, try and contain your excitement. I'm going to be posting about some cool stuff happening around Chicago and also the work that I'm doing right now.

Fun first

Looks like a great event from a great magazine, this Friday. Some UIC faculty [Andy Moddrell http://portarchitects.com/] as well as other interesting people [Stuart Hicks, http://www.designwith.co/]

Check out the 'Download / Purchase' section of mas-context for their archived magazines, worth it.

Studio 

Fragment from RFP, Professor: Jimenez Lai

A beginning study of a how displacement and confusion can influence new architectural experience and event. Splicing confusing pieces of floor plans together, i.e. maximum open space [Rem Koolhaas, "Typical Plan"] or plans pre hallway [i.e. Robin Evans, "Figures, Doors, and Passages"] with regularized pieces, i.e. [The British Museum, Robert Smirke] hopefully resulting in unbridled confusion.
