chat about my thesis [machine612-me]
(21:10:12) xeonarch: went through your thesis.
(21:10:58) xeonarch: it was pretty good. alot of analysis on form and space
(21:12:17) machine612: oh thanks....i might continue to develope the basicness of computer codes and the basicness of man and see what kind of ideas i can come up with
(21:13:05) machine612: i will be reworking my portfolio kinda like my thesis book cause i just took karen's portfolio class so i just rushed my portfolio
(21:14:14) xeonarch: ah ic..
(21:14:16) xeonarch: nice
(21:14:50) xeonarch: that'll be a good chance to "change up" your thesis through your portfolio
(21:15:34) machine612: i'm also relearning dreamweaver for some website side job...I am thinking of warming up for it by building my own portfolio website...you think that's a good idea?
(21:21:04) xeonarch: yeah definetly
(21:21:17) xeonarch: you can use the layout as a graphic layout project
(21:21:28) machine612: yea
(21:21:33) xeonarch: and the website for the protfolio
(21:21:44) xeonarch: kinda a parasytic event
(21:23:17) machine612: what do you think of the idea which came after my thesis which is showing the craftmanship, materials, details in how a building is put together? that to me is very delightable to experience...more so than just looking at a blob building and not liking the inside
(21:24:16) xeonarch: i think that's where techtonics really shines
(21:24:41) xeonarch: the material and feel of the material mentally and physically come to fruition on a structure
(21:25:15) xeonarch: that's part of the great debate of whether a buidling is just a building or a piece of scupture?
(21:25:28) machine612: i think about that a lot now...i dont mind people doing blob but they dont go and think about the constuction, details, and materials of it...
(21:25:54) machine612: mine thesis as you can see isn't that crazy but i have a lot of details to try to express my thesis idea
(21:25:56) xeonarch: so I think that is a delightable part which we get to do freely in SLO
(21:26:01) xeonarch: build build and see
(21:28:02) xeonarch: just like a real project
(21:28:23) xeonarch: alot of details to truly express a structure
(21:29:10) machine612: yea...i think build build is great...a lot of people just design design which i think is really not that great...cause as a crit...i see the beauty in the making
(21:30:14) xeonarch: thats what our profession is really about, and i do see myself just rushing working now
(21:30:36) xeonarch: and not truely see the pleasure of just build build on paper
(21:31:05) machine612: i think the best drawings are the one made in workshop...
(21:31:19) xeonarch: shop drawings, yes
(21:31:27) xeonarch: i see hand drawing and care
(21:31:35) xeonarch: it's realy nice
(21:31:51) xeonarch: they still submit blueprint shop drawings
(21:31:54) xeonarch: it's cool
(21:31:55) xeonarch: haha
(21:32:00) machine612: it have all the info, the dimensions, the way to contruct it and the materials...
(21:32:44) xeonarch: yup
(21:33:19) machine612: and a lot of people at 5 year crit have computer and printed drawings which is only a pretty model show at an angle no one can see and have no ideas of what the connections are...i am different...hopefully you remember my thesis set up or see it in my book
(21:36:22) xeonarch: it's been a while but yeah I remember parts of the presentation
(21:36:52) machine612: i built my own support to put up my hand drawings
(21:37:19) machine612: lemme upload it on my blog so you can look at my construction phase
(21:42:03) machine612: http://anthromorphic.blogspot.com/
here it is...you can check some pics i took when i finished...and if you scroll down..you can see me as a baby...this is my blog and i just write on it when i feel the words

(21:46:26) xeonarch: cool
(21:46:42) xeonarch: you should have took more professional photos of these
(21:46:57) xeonarch: be a strong part of the thesis
(21:47:31) machine612: haha...i buit those like 2 days before my show and the photolab is always crowded during that time
(21:47:59) machine612: I just wanna be casual about my project..
