The concrete walls that extend into the landscape beyond VAPA are a datum of the 40' wide bays of the building.

The architect of VAPA, Robertson Ward, went to London to work with Cedric Price. His ideas about flexible space were in line with Cedric Price's.

The automobile has been the principal subject of urban planning since the mid-twentieth century, and in recent decades there has been efforts by many towns to refocus on the pedestrian.

Mass MoCA could be considered to be an example of this type of intervention.

VAPA was in mid-construction. Contractors went bankrupt, and the buildings were not fully completed.

Ironically, they employed a pattern that is one traditionally used in building stone - "vermiculated"

The concrete walls of VAPA and Dickinson were sandblasted to expose the aggregate (small stones). This gives the concrete texture and color.

As does the large removed corners of the marble clad buildings of CAPA.

The Beinecke Library at Yale uses the same strategy, with walls of translucent Vermont Marble.

Alma - The multiple functions of simple architecture. How can I add more purpose to utilitarian things

Alma - I’m curious about which codes protect the environment and what loopholes there must be

Alma - Taking into account time. How will time affect the structures you imagine

Alma - All spaces should be accommodating. I feel that too many times taking into account disabled people or people with special requirements is an afterthought.

VAPA's architect told me that he believed his buildings were also designed as teaching tools. Everything would be visible.

When you are eating out at a restaurant (remember when you did that?), if you needed to use the restroom, you usually had a pretty good idea where to find it.

The lofts of Soho in NYC were constructed to accommodate light manufacturing in the 19th century. In the late 20th century they became studios and living spaces for artists. Now they are coveted as homes for the prosperous.

The Empire State Building, built at the height of the Depression, in the middle of Manhattan.

William F. Lamb, chosen to lead the Empire State Building design team, worked at breakneck speed, completing preliminary drawings for the 102-story building in just two weeks. To help ensure the stability and usability of the massive structure, he offered an innovative design that placed critical components, such as plumbing, mail chutes, and elevators, at the building’s core.

The Empire State’s water delivery system – which includes more than 70 miles of pipe – is especially noteworthy and remains virtually unchanged today. The landmark’s water tanks are housed in the core of the building instead of on the roof, like most tall buildings in the city.

The team also broke new ground when it came to fire protection and building strength by encasing the building’s steel frame and components in concrete. Iron oxide and linseed oil paint coated the steel frame components when they were manufactured. Builders on site then covered the frame with asphalt to prevent erosion when coated with the concrete layer.

The Empire State Building also pioneered a form of just-in-time material delivery. The site was very compact and did not allow for storage of construction materials – which included over 10 million bricks. Therefore, everything that was delivered had to be used that day. To expedite construction, engineers created a railway system to move materials efficiently and rapidly around the site.

The speed of the building’s construction is enviable even by today’s modern engineering and building standards. The Empire State Building was completed in 410 days – three months ahead of schedule – and at a pace of 4.5 stories a week.

heteronomy

1. the state or condition of being ruled, governed, or under the sway of another, as in a military occupation.
2. the state or condition of being under the influence or domination, in a moral, spiritual, or similar sense, of another person, entity, force, etc. Cf. autonomy. — heteronomous, adj.

A genotype refers to the genetic characteristics of an organism. A phenotype refers to the physical characteristics. For example, having blue eyes (an autosomal recessive trait) is a phenotype; lacking the gene for brown eyes is a genotype.

A genotype refers to the genetic characteristics of an organism. A phenotype refers to the physical characteristics. For example, having blue eyes (an autosomal recessive trait) is a phenotype; lacking the gene for brown eyes is a genotype.

If we had to rely only on natural selection, human development would develop at a glacial pace.

If I lose my memory , what purity!

It's remarkable that the bold drawing of a glass tower (before one was ever built) was represented by charcoal!

My own suspicion of the enormous generative part played by architectural draw ing stems from a brief period of teaching in an art college.* Bringing with me the conviction that architecture and the visual arts were closely allied, I was soon struck by what seemed at the time the peculiar disadvantage under which architects labour, never working directly with the object of their thought, always working at it through some intervening medium, almost always the drawing, while painters and sculptors, who might spend some time on preliminary sketches and maquettes, all ended up working on the thing itself which, naturally, absorbed most of their attention and effort. I still cannot understand, in retrospect, why the implications of this simple observation had never been brought home to me before.

Architectural Historian Robin Evans, "Translations fro Drawing to Building," 1986, referencing his time teaching at Bennington.

Allied architects developed plans for a new addition to Crossett. The project was shelved in favor of the CAPA complex.

The formulation of parti is a central concept in architectural projects.

The scale of this building is misleading. It looks much bigger than it is in reality, due to the fact that each floo level is three square windows tall.

The authors put in these side-pieces throughout the book. They are recognized by the parallel lines in the background. You can read the chapter first, then go back or just read straight through.

This was a speculative design by Michelangelo for a centrally organized church - a popular pursuit during the Renaissance. Da Vinci also made several designs. The model in image 1 is an attempt to show the spaces of the church as physical solids - an inversion of the solid/void of the plan.

The definition of architecture is something we will discuss over the course of the term. What definition resonates with you?

Etymology.. focus (n.) 1640s, "point of convergence," from Latin focus "hearth, fireplace" (also, figuratively, "home, family"), which is of unknown origin. Used in post-classical times for "fire" itself; taken by Kepler (1604) in a mathematical sense for "point of convergence," perhaps on analogy of the burning point of a lens (the purely optical sense of the word may have existed before Kepler, but it is not recorded). Introduced into English 1650s by Hobbes. Sense transfer to "center of activity or energy" is first recorded 1796.

the coexistence of many possible meanings for a word or phrase.

I had no need of that hypothesis

I have always thought this to be a wonderful description of earth.

Who said that architecture is frozen music?

Roughshod is an interesting word to use here. I would think that it suggests something other than barefoot.
