Notes and moving forward

Go back to thesis:
Consider a stronger declaration, something like a manifesto.
In terms of housing:
Consider issues of rituals, and the home as a kind of apparatus?
Consider cleanliness associated with the home and its relation to the site, which does not have this feature.
Also go to Identity, as in “Nostalghia” and the registration of the aspects of the home.
Smithson: question of the importance of concrete and the issue of scale. eg. spiral jetti
Zoom out and look at the urban scale: Rust at this scale...Analogous relationships of chemical and urban processes. Think about corrosive and renewal.
Create a datum as a basis of measure for ritual as well as physical degradation
consider making a kind of “periodic table of elements” on the site as well as the new materials instituted and their interactions.

For next monday: I will continue to work on perspective/collage drawings, work on proper plans and sections, and try to go back to my research and readings to incorporate the ideas of my thesis back into the architecture, which seemed to be a major critique of my project as it now stands.
I will also focus specifically on the housing portion of the program, developing the rituals and relationships of these rituals to materials and material degradation. This will be done mostly through perspectives and sketches for now.
