A highrise Site Model

Our Site Model
An industrial part of the city
Laid with old aged structures

The use of pallets to construct the model spoke highly of the space
To bring our highrise to this industrial area will potentially 
bring back the 'old-time romance' & wealth to Rincon Hill

Conundrum:
Am I under some spell?
What can I do about this confusion?
I have a problem, I am unable to understand the issue?

A Past Post in Present Time

I love to design 'games.' These objects should be held on a pedistal and honored as a sculpture of taste. While some are wretched the act of creating a 'game' is wonderful, trying and perplexing.

For my grandparents, a game to enjoy!

Sketch the Experience & Draw the Highrise

Once more I find myself on the brink of stress and ultimate enjoyment! Finally, the once prevailing "form" design has left and opened the 'Gates to Gestalt Design.' A mere impression of my physiological design style--an invention of mine.

It started before my phenomenology days. Slowly I developed an intent through game design. With the use of 3-days strait in a workshop and surrealist music, the Art-form was born. By asking questions either by yourself or with a group, your subconscious mind opens the imagination to the building: the materials, the experience, the senses, the people & the time. As you progress through the building in your mind, you find patterns, connections, notes and way-points. These images form an experiential design. The influence is powerful and mighty.

My dear friends Joe and Ari were the official tested. They are held in great honor and glory!

Dear Highrise Project,
   
         I have written you a letter 97 pages to end.
Why shan't you write me back?
I try despretly to design well for you.
Is it not enough?  
Do you need more of my time that I do not possess?

Farewell till we meet once more--at least until Saturday.

Love,
Jeremiah

A Poem for Highrise

My dear friend the highrise
How lovely can thee be?
To give me so much work to do
and let me out to see

Then pound me like an oil rig
to pull out the wee last bit
and out comes my toil and labor
as black as a crow at night

What would I do without thee?




Once again, I labor for many hours to bring the design to the next level. It is never ending--but that is what drives me on. Can I foster the growth of something special? Can I develop a masterpiece?

A nearly quick drawing using Sumi ink, ballpoint pen and Chartpak Markers, my partner Joe and I worked to lay some groundwork. With large newsprint papers we set out to shape a glimpse of the current highrise design. Again, I am against the use of Form to shape a building it does not mean it is useless in the least. All experiences generate ideas. This is just a round about way to hit the nail on the head so to speak. Designing for experience rather than look should be paramount!

Dilatory:
Am I thee that speaks little to a large extent? 
Do I find myself hidden by obligations other than those of importance?
