Living Architecture Spring 2007 Pratt

Thinking about what we have gone over in class and by looking at the other sites posted by people on the blog I get a better sense of understanding of what is expected. Inspired by previous architects i can imagine the work we do in class as a skin or surface condition. As stated by zach in the previous post Im also fasciniated by Jean Nouvel's L'Monde de Arabe Library in France. I can imagine the potential from this to interact with the conditions of the enviroment, people, sound, light, and its surrounding. I also became inspired by my visit to the MOCA(museum of contemporary art) in Los Angeles. The exhibition juxtaposed various works from architects and fashion designers. I was motivated by this piece, a dress that became a table at the exhibit. I can also see our work lead to smaller scale issues such as fashion and industrial design that not only promote new methods of thinking that can lead to new living architecture.
