Contextually Decomposed Entomology

Crystal Lake, IL
///September 2014

This semester I am working on a directed research project entitled contextually decomposed entomology. Essentially what that means is I am looking into what happens when nature in this case insects, interact with a given context. I am planning on breaking down the idea of decomposition and attempting to give it significance to art and architecture. For example if a piece of lead was implanted into your skin, a reaction would occur. It is this reaction on which I am looking into for architectural meaning. In the same way that a foreign body being implanted into ones skin would cause a reaction, our architecture being implanted into nature would/should cause some reaction. 

It will be an attempt of mine to post weekly some sketches and ideas that will further facilitate discussion and record ideas. Please if you wish to discuss comment and dialogue is highly encouraged.
