CONCLUSION

After all these weeks of investigation it is difficult to think it is time to look back and make sense of all in a holistic way. I started creating three street sections (see appendices pages 92, 93 & 94) that showed (1) the existing challenges that Norvella Heights face to be accessible, (2) a diagrammatical section with possible solutions for those challenges, and (3) the location of the access spaces that need to be redesigned for accessibility. Using this section I was able to establish… Continue

Forbidden imagery a walk downtown

The afternoon started by getting in cab and heading south on the FDR, there were a few boats cruising the choppy waters of the bay. As we got out of the taxi on Houston street at the height of the blue painted facade landmark, the colors seemed very brilliant on this day.

Mould Manifesto against Rationalism in Architecture

Painting and sculpture are now free, inasmuch as anyone may produce any sort of creation and subsequently display it. In architecture, however, this fundamental freedom, which must be regarded as a precondition for any art, does not exist, for a person must first have a diploma in order to build. Why? Everyone should be able to build, and as long as this freedom to build does not exist, the present-day planned architecture cannot be considered art at all. Our architecture has succumbed to the s… Continue

Paolo Soleri interviewed by Jerry Brown JB: Welcome to another edition of "We the People". This hour we have a very special guest from Arizona, Paolo Soleri, an author, a visionary, an architect, a pioneer of new human spaces. He's the author of Arcosanti, an Urban Laboratory, the Book Technology and Cosmogenesis, the Archology, the City in the Image of Man, the Omega Seed, and that's got a logical hypothesis.

Casting away the transient and revealing the true....vol 01

Garbage can smell terrible, especially rotting organic matter. But it can also become rich compost for fertilizing the garden. The fragrant rose and the stinking garbage are two sides of the same existence. Without one, the other cannot be. Everything is in transformation. The rose that wilts after six days will become a part of the garbage. After six months the garbage is transformed into a rose. When we speak of impermanence, we understand that everything is in transformation. This becomes… Continue

Architecture in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada

this morning I took a trip over to meet a friend at Starbucks - I could not help thinking about the architecture or lack of in our city of about 126,000 in Greater Moncton. I saw a few older houses that were interesting on the drive over but nothing really to talk about. I'm going to try to take pictures over the next few months of anything that might be interesting. I can think of a few building and homes that might be good candidates to start with, then from there it will be all seek and find… Continue

Have Fun- Paint a Mural

One year my brother and I bought those red French berettes, long breadsticks, cheese and some wine and headed off to have a picnic next to the river. We also brought an easel, paper, brushes and paints. We looked tres tres chic & artistic, you know. We both painted landscape in front of us. People would approach to see artist's at work, people looked at us with awe. We looked good. We felt pretty cool.

THE REALIZATION

Time to back track...When looking at my work development I realized I have some areas that needed more consideration. The other day I had a magic realization: I was trying to redevelop the Norvella Heights neighborhood. Now, I understand the big picture. I need to use the neighborhood as a guideline to design the intrinsic elements that will create an intergenerational neighborhood. I have to study the relationships of the area to determine the needs of the community based on accessibility. Then… Continue

A mio parere è un'assurdità, ma non il progetto in se che vanta di ottime e innovative soluzioni, quanto alla "location"...questo non è "mare " come lo intendo io...è un eccesso vero e proprio.
