notes from the final critique

site is already mazelike
maybe too dense?
Open space vs. dense space or open vs closed
the drama of the open space to the tight closed space fo the maze
ex. Brooklyn whole foods

question of site location?
NJ subdivision? acts like it landed from outerspace (Red Hook IKEA)
openess as seen in Aycock's project
a connection of the program to different elements (restaurants, bars, pastry shops, etc.)

codification of maze techniques

what is the blurred edge?
so far it is only graphic quality. what is the materiality? play with transparencies
Bejing Library wall example, filling in the wall changes the space
Glass Blocks
Japanese shades
light vs. dark

Patterns of Arrangement - Foucault
Borges - how things are grouped
Benjamin - department store and arcades

critique of the market, look more critically
diagram how the maze works, different techniques and how they work in the supermarket. diagram different layouts (ex. gondolas, aisles)

Path and Deadend
Pepe LaMoco (movie) of Morrocan bazaar (John Gabanza actor in it)

purpose of maze

systemized

grows from inside out

project goes in two directions
1. history
2. idea of maze / supermarket

maze looks at light, texture, and the time (it takes to walk through)

should do a hedge maze
