BEING SELF CRITICAL

Several all-nighters marked the end of the third project. This one I did not really like.

It is a weird marriage between thermodynamics and geometry with a pentomino armature.

I enjoyed the armature and the potential it can bring, and I spent a lot of time working on the circulation studies by tracing how each part of the armature move and the shift in connections between them. And I feel like it is too restrictive in a sense.

But I did not deploy the thermal part very much, even though I had a strong thermal dynamic concept of inversion/inside-out.

The thing I produce is monstrous. It is radical. But it lacks the final push. I can feel it. And I am more proficient in self-critique. I know I did not pull myself together to realize the final jump - which is glad.
I should rethink about the basic questions like the relationship between void and solid, and to re-consider the geometry and the interstitial spaces between volumes.

I had gain some judgemental sense in architecture to see what GSD likes: minimal/elegant design, clean geometry/generative logic, creating interesting spaces, and great/compelling representation.
