This week I re-titled my thesis, it was like getting further into figuring out what I actually want to be able to do. I want to design buildings that have a relationship spatially, materially, to the demolished buildings so that memories are triggered for the users of Christchurch. Testing the potential of architecture as a mnemonic device to re-establish the relationship of people to site. This has meant a lot more reading, on semiotics, and I need to do more reading on phenomenology.
This week I have also:
-drawn layers (see below)
-written 4500 words on my lit review (only one section to go)
-edited and rethought my ideas in my lit review
-put an entry together for a RIBA traveling scholarship
-continued reading and typing up my notes
-researched Napier as a precedent
-discovered a thesis that relates to mine that has spurred a lot of thought, as well as presentation ideas: http://2.beltline.ca/node/400
Other thoughts:
-issue of representation
-importance of noticing what precedent projects do
-I am using thinness. Why? I need to explore surfaces and their relationship to mass
