Top Gear Challenge: Team Jeremy

part 1

I disagree with Professor Bender; we are not past media & information in the built environment(urban landscape).

Do you think we are past this?

I think our class is a perfect example of media & information being detrimental on dialogue (the abstraction of dialogue is a modern interpretation of the variables being studied in modern urban environments).

Why aren’t you compelled to voice your opinion during class?

"Architecture", not architecture: the bridge does not insert into a place, it changes a place.

Architectural Typology vs Behavioral Typology: imagined & designed architectures

drivers: moments of pause (articulating private & public trajectories)

constituents: facades, landings, celebration of tectonics.

Translations from Drawing to Building and Other Essays

Before embarking on the investigation of drawing's role in architecture, a few words might be spent on language; more particularly on the common antilogy that would have architecture be like language but also independent of it. All things with conceptual dimensions are like language, as all grey things are like elephants. A great deal in architecture may be language-like without being language.

PG 154

antilogy |anˈtɪlədʒi|noun (pl.antilogies) archaica contradiction in terms or ideas.ORIGIN early 17th cent.: from French antilogie, from Greek antilogia, from anti- ‘against’ + -logia (see -logy) .
