for munkong's speaker...

For your studio project, have a look at how (non-Newtonian) fluids (for shapes, ephemeral sculptures) or even sand laid on a plane surface (for patterns) are shaped by the sound vibrations created by a speaker in use. 

Do the experiments yourself and document it for Monday. 

The idea of relating it to the soundbooth drawing is still very promising.

And this will be a lot easier and interesting to draw than the tiny and very subtle vibration of the speaker's membrane.

drawings and architecture

Before i get Aj. Fredrik's presentation...
Let me advise you to get and read one book
by Peter Cook
Drawing, the motive force of architecture.

In the meantime, have a look at this exhaustive database on architectural drawings.
They have to be understood in the context of their projects, which the website fails to reveal,
but at least you will have an overwhelming idea of the infinite possibilities you have in your hands when it comes to expressing a project through drawing.
So, here it is: http://drawingarchitecture.tumblr.com/archive
Enjoy!

Question concerning midterm

1) For the original files, do you want them cropped? Like for drawings, sometimes they have to have corners cropped out. Or keep the corners?

2) Do there have to be a uniform size or uniform dimension for all the files? Example 2000x2000

3) So 5 drawings per category for DTS (Tool and skill) 1 submission. We have almost 10 for each category but pick best five? We have 15 categories so there should be 75 pictures in total?

For DS1 (Studio) it can be more than 5, correct? To show progress and prototypes.

4) In the CD, the files are to be organized like this?

Thank you!

tool improvement

Khim: "Stalking (Peeking) Tool" [Improved]

Task Performance Tool: The Stalking (Peeking) Tool (Improved)

The “Stalking Tool” consists of six pieces in two collections: a bracelet, a necklace, and a ring for each set. Gold acrylic sheets (2 mm. thickness) with a reflective surface are used in place of a mirror to reflect the images around the user: reflecting the image from the back (bracelet and ring SET1), the front (necklace SET1 with bracelet SET1), and from the right and the left (bracelet, necklace, and ring SET2). Each of the bracelets are made to be attached to a watch: the motion of movement would include a sequence of arms and hands moving up towards the face (i.e. to “look at the time from the watch”) while also providing a natural movement when the tool is in use. The necklaces are placed on the neck as a normal jewelry, so that when you “look at the time from the watch” you will then be able to see the reflections from the necklace as well. The rings are to be worn on the same hand as the bracelets so that the reflections from the surface of the ring can also be seen with the same movement of the body.
