showing my weakness. read this shit

Thu, 03 Jan 2013 23:59:00 -0500

so ive always loved music. it can change a mood so quickly, and is so powerful in connecting you to the artist. Music has inspired me before. little lyric quotes that describe exaactly how i feel, and how to get over it. Ive even done some paintings of the imagery created by certain lyrics. but tonight, tonight was different. what started out as a little mumford and sons jam session and me starting a journal turned into one of the single most greatest internal moment of my life. Im so fucking inspired and motivated right now, its ridiculous. Listening to the first line of “awake my soul”, How fickle my heart and how woosey my eyes, i struggle to find any truth in your lies. and now my heart stumbles on things i dont know, this weakness i feel I must finally show. I always liked this line, but tonight it has taken on a totally new meaning. Over the past few months, my faith as a christian has been challenged both externally and internally like never before in my life, and now, i dont know what to do or where to go spiritually. my heart is definitely stumbling. and I must finally show this weakness. not only my spiritual weaknesses, but mental, physical, emotional. any weakness. Thats what my journal is. showing my weakness. And hopefully by the time those pages of that little black moleskine notebook are filled, I will have learned a tremendous amount about myself as a student, a christian, an architect and just a human being in general, and i can use this knowledge to become a better person. we’ll see how this goes…

AA House by OAB

The design scheme for House AA responds to simple geometric rules.

The footprint of the building uses a superimposed 7×7 meter skewed grid to support the program in a composition similar to a musical score. The diagonals serve as a roof system that ungulates like an artificial topography, creating skylights in some cases, while in others situations, rising up double the height of other rooftop peaks.

At the base floor, the program develops a direct relationship between the interior and exterior through the abundant use of glasswork, trellises, and sliding panels. This allows a visual connection to the garden for the following spaces: the rooms, halls, library, dining rooms, kitchen, main bedroom and guest suites.

Vertically consistent relationships exist between the main floor and adjacent floors, always responding to the programmatic demands, and therefore completing the three dimensional continuity of the building.

The areas on the lower floor are service areas of the main program, such as a cellar communicating directly with the dining room, a video library communicating with the library; an inside swimming pool and Turkish bath, an extension of the main bedroom, and a service flat leading directly to the kitchen areas.

The upper level serves as the Piano Nobile, or private level, from which a direct relationship to the surrounding landscape is still maintained through the use of glazing.

The layout is completed with private access to the patio. Its secluded position contrasts the luminous presentation of the house. Ceramic tiles are used as cladding on the rooftops as well as the perimeter walls. Light enters at specific points of the program where large sections of glazing complete the building.

modernizing:

The Tóló house, designed by Alvaro Leite Siza, is build on a sharply inclined hill in Penafiel, Portugal.The house fragmentation, necessary due to the steep topography, transforms the whole into a composition of small linked and interconnected volumes, creating an unevenness that allows for a more secure and rational use of the lot.The form resulting from a rigorous, modular geometric abstraction establishes the necessary rotation of certain modules to adapt to the natural morphology of the terrain, trying to preserve all the pre-existing trees.The project include three bedrooms, a social bathroom, a living room, a dinning room, a small kitchen with a support washbasin, pantry, and even a small outdoor swimming pool.

The outdoor patios, corresponding to the roofs of various levels, are connected through a pedestrian path that border the lot.The interior floors, doors, and baseboards are in wood, except in the water areas. The exterior doors and windows are in metal, which are double-pained for improved thermal and acoustic insulation.
