11.13.06

In the previous class I had a clear direction and goal to explore the idea of an architecture style that served as a defense against the effects of global warming. I am currently struggling with the megascale- the problem of going beyond just repeating smaller forms in vast quantities to having an overall cohesive scheme while maintaining a significant level of detail. The megascale presents a challenge to the level of detail developed at project completion.

While I still might maintain developing a segment of the proposal, recent ideas include the idea of a wetland city- a city that functions as an intermediary between land and the sea, to accomodate for both life systems and yet function as an absorbing element.
