Not thinking is such hard work
Okay. I rather badly need to update this blog, but there hasn't been much time, and there isn't really time to do it just now either. So here comes a promise: this weekend will be update-the-blog weekend, over and above all the drawings that need to be done. Quite a lot has happened over the past week or so - there is work to upload, just not enough time at the moment to sit down and go through all the folders and re-format images and blah blah.
With that, I'm going back to the drawing board. I'll leave you with a few strange early-day sketches for curvaceous brick façades that I put together just to show the TS tutors what I am (may be) trying to do in terms of exterior articulation. Still just an idea, a quick experiment - the final structure should be much less ornamentally curved and much more tense, like ligaments, muscles, tissues flowing into and out of each other within vaguely articulated corner zones. I've promised eMineN to work on three specific drawings without thinking, and aside from reading up on Gramazio & Kohler's interesting brick experiments, that's what I'm doing. I hate not thinking, yet have to admit to liking how often when you stop, the building starts to happen.
