Currently I am sitting in an apartment on a sunny day overlooking the river valley in Edmonton, Alberta. On July 19th we begin our trek through the Northern Canada, Alaska and the Arctic Circle that will last for 25 days. We will pass through wild and glacial terrain seeking out change as it is reflexively performed within culture and...
it seems like we are discovering new things everyday. that innovations are moving everything forward, or upward. technology, medicine, science. it's all going up. but when i get into an argument, i know deep down that i am just as confused as the very first being capable of communication and thought. even though each evolutionary step has as...
This is a an interesting article on changing our perception in designing for the future. Lunenfeld brings to attention an important strategy: Scenario Planning. And applies a nice, lost term to the future: Bespoke
It is a no-brainer. But the problem I find with two generations (mine and the one after, I guess X and Y gens) in applying that...
The Law of Conservation of Energy, aka the first law of thermodynamics, is a very fundamental part of physics, and is instrumental to our understanding of the universe.
But it also has profound theological implications. The second law of thermodynamics is often thrown around by God lovers as an attempt to justify their faith empirically. But...

The imminent looming come is here
From the Swiss Alps to Strait of Gibraltar
Faceless creatures will rule the sphere
Chasing a sunken dream, a dark avatar

Ubiquitous Habitats hold a minimum of two criteria:
1. Every point in space, through kinesthetic instigation, is a possibility for becoming a 'site.'
2. Every site or 'tentative holding space' (Gins and Arakawa) provides limitless potential for the organism on/within that site.
Applying this concept to architecture creates shapeless...

This is the video made by shaun westbrook - partner for this project. What is shown in the real situation is the water looping through his comparatively stable part forever at until someone does the trigger (what's that ?) and then it'll play through with the water rising like crazy.
Some people find it harder to figure out what that trigger...
I apologize for the inconvenience, but as I was unable to embed this particular video on the space collective - but you can view it on youtube at this address:
Warning: this footage is unedited video - I am currently in germany and can not able to edit the video until I return to the U.S. but please scroll through the video to understand the...
The final video may have been a bit too much information to grasp at one time, so I've decided that over the summer I would spend time clearly defining how re:hive works and functions as a colony in space.
the idea was about redefining the way we interact with nature. I wanted to build a colony in response to the living environment bees have...
