i love my mac

so everyone's talking about blogging nowadays to i figured i'd better also jump of the bandwagon, although i already web-master the veuda.com site. so, to define blog.veuda.com, it is a page of casual messages, unsolicited comments, and unsubstantiated statements.

please sir, can i have some more?

was very excited about the new museum by sanaa/nishisawa. actually from this distance the building reads really well, especially when it's 75-degrees and sunny. up close though, the details are sub-par, and the stainless steel mesh should drop lower to create a dialog with street level.

tres cool

An investigation of wave flows around governor's island using hair dynamics in maya.... wave patterns surrounding governor's island in new york were extracted and extended over the island. gravity was altered to produce a negative, neutral, and positive "topography". Other factors such as turbulence were altered to vary the fluctuations of the extended waveforms. The result was a field of complex undulations that may be used to inform the site of the retreat project.

associations of program spaces and trajectories

a diagram showing the programmatic spaces lofted to produce a single object. the size of the form indicates the number of tags a program holds (ie. the fatter the section, the more descriptive tags the program contains. The positioning is derived from the location on the word cloud, thus, solids which are higher in this perspective indicate more spiritual programs; solids that stretch to the left or right indicate a higher level of activity. The tubes indicate the trajectory of a simulated person throughout one day.

tags are used to create a set of nodes. the higher density the lower the occurance of the tag, thus in 3D this would create higher undulations in a folded form

the tags reoorganized and packed. words are placed by spirituality and activity. the boundaries indicate the extents of the tags per program
