///Spring 09
The standard head unit of a car is connected by a vast assortment of different colored wires that all serve there own purpose, red ones with white stripes, solid black, black with a red line...etc. All these wires run from one place to another and serve a different purpose, when connected with another wire, they preform a different function. last time I wrote about this guy that was talking about designing on a grid pattern where everything was structured and I felt as though it lacked emotion, In actuality, it wasn't lacking emotion in general, the emotion was just lacking to me. Every one is wired differently, two people can be looking at the same thing and see and feel two entirely different ways. This is something that I need to start looking at, just because I don't think it is significant, it doesn't mean that they (who designed it) are doing it "wrong". One architect that I admire for doing things that do not always make visual sense, is Will Alsop who is partners with Jan Stormer. The work of Alsop and Stormer is a visual modernistic painting, it could also be considered cubist in some sort of way. What I like about there designs is that each time I look at it, I feel entirely different, the emotion that is evoked is always stunning and different from the past.
On a separate note, it is the beginning of my second semester as an architect student and I am very excited to now be a Junior and almost a senior in college. This semester is going to be very difficult for me, I am going to try to commit to be super diligent and work my butt off. It's time to be responsible, my mom would say. Lets Just hope that I can do it.
