I started working a lot with pen rather than pencil and really enjoy the results that have occurred.<br />

We examined arts and crafts, re-form, art movements and their influence on design; as well as the effects of war. All of which helped shape the multiple modernisms of today as well as the Scandinavians design aesthetic.<br />
<br />
The World’s fairs were a great invention which reminds me a lot of trade shows that we see today. They were international, commemorative, commercial, and collaborative. At the core of the fairs is National pride. The fairs were a way for everyone to show off their intelligence and ability to design and produce the next biggest and greatest idea/object. Architecturally they are challenging in that most are temporary. Creating an environment that inspires awe and can handle hundreds of thousands of visitors is quite the task. Often there are a few buildings or structures that we are left with as reminders, such as the Eiffel Tower, The space needle in Seattle, and the arch in St. Louis. The commercialism and industrialism showcased in the fairs is contrasted by the Arts and Crafts movement.<br />
<br />
The Arts and Crafts movement focused on the handmade and the natural beauty and elements around. Ching summarizes this when he states “ These Arts and Crafts houses featured a deliberate blurring of interior and exterior space through the use of decks, pergolas, porches, and terraces.” (Ching, 681) One of the most exceptional examples of the movement is the Gamble house in Pasadena, which was designed by Charles Sumner Green and Henry Mather Greene in 1908-1909. The idea of the house as a total design package is see perfectly here. Every aspect of the house was part of an integrated design. Cabinets, lighting, leaded glass windows, paneling; everything, was designed by the architects to perform as one cohesive unit. This approach is also seen in other artistic movements and how their design aesthetic translated into the architecture as well. We see this paralleling in the art nouveau style in Europe, where the free flowing lines of nature are the central theme. Think no right angles. Furthering these ideas is Art deco. Beauty for beauty, surface adornment, shiny polished surfaces come to mind here. The exterior of the Chrysler building in New York and the interior of Rockefeller center are excellent examples of this style.<br />
<br />
We have learned in the class that most all design movements have a reaction movement or a focus on a new aesthetic. Although not necessarily reactionary, the Bauhaus Movement seemed to have a more industrial nature to it focusing as Roth states “on industrial production and the development of normative industrial standards.” (Roth 523) Much of this was theoretical since the designs appeared very industrial, yet were often hand crafted. Many names are associated with the Bauhaus, such as Walter Gropius, the founder, Kandinsky, Klee, and the final leader: Mies van der Rohe. The Bauhaus was eventually shut down by the Nazis in 1933 which tells us that war is among us and a new uncertainty is coming. Multiple modernisms start to appear. Classic revival, ultra modern, and post modern all start appearing more and more. All are searches for what is modern and are modern according to those who are building them as well as the attitudes of how one should live. The idea that people will adapt to the house and learn to live with how it is designed comes into play and is also criticized. <br />
<br />
Much of this criticism led us to look at the Scandinavian design aesthetic and how it brings a lot of what we are learning together. Functionality, simple lines, pleasing aesthetics, affordability. All ideas we have discussed come together as a whole here. We learn that the house and it contents needs to be responsive to the individual living within for it to work. It is human nature that cannot be changed for architecture, yet architecture that must change for human nature. <br />
<br />
The rise of the interior decorator and mega firm come to the playground as well. We look at the people that make what we do now possible, such as Elsie de Wolf, Dorothy Draper, and Billy Baldwin, pioneers in decorating that opened the doors for us. Mega firms such as Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill start appearing as are mega buildings. Going up and up becomes the new direction. The idea of no structure is realized with glass facades that cover entire buildings, completely hiding the structure. The reaction to this as well, all the structure is shown on the outside, so the inside can be completely open, such as the George Pompidou center for art in Paris. Ultimately we learn that Modern is a search. A search for what looks, functions, and feels right. Modern is not the same for everyone and will always be evolving.<br />

<br />
The image that I feel best exemplifies the unit is the Villa Savoye by Le Corbusier. Built between 1928 and 1931 in Poissy France, just outside of Paris. The building exemplifies Corbusier’s five points of architecture. Elevating the building to allow the garden to extend underneath, A functional roof that reclaims the land occupied by the building, an open floor plan, long horizontal windows for light and air, and a facade as a skin. All of these ideas we see re-emerging as important today. The Villa Savoye to me is the predecessor of green or sustainable architecture. It was designed around light and how it effects the building as well as the occupants and how they live and the presence of the automobile. Ideas such as a steel structural skeleton that allows for open expanses and for the exterior walls to be an applied facade are both ideas that evolved and will continue to evolve and already allow us to live, design, and function the way we do today.

<br />
Object: Espresso Maker<br />

The design is simple, elegant, and functional. Th footprint is half that of my microwave which gave me more counter space as well. Espresso wakes me up in the morning and allows me to function and learn.<br />

I enjoy cooking and preparing meals more than anything else that I do. It is a way for me to be creative and experimental while at the same time creating amazing food. I like to entertain and the kitchen makes or breaks this for me. Having a well designed, functional, and appropriate space is critical. I live in my kitchen so it needs to be one of the most special places in the house. There is no room for fast food in my kitchen.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I ended up here almost by chance. While in Venice a friend of my parents suggested that I stop by here to visit. I barely had time to see what I wanted to see, let alone another art museum. Boy was I glad that I made time for this place. The museum was the home of Peggy Guggenheim for over 30 years. Originally it was designed to be a palace, yet was never finished. All you see it the first floor. I enjoy that it stands out on the grand canal. It's only one floor when most building are at least two. The gardens are amazingly simple and unexpected in the city. What I truly enjoy the most is the interior. The pale pale brown terrazzo floors, the clean lines, the simplicity. All juxtaposed against the exterior facade. I was there in August, It was so hot and so humid outside you were soaking when just from stepping outside. When I arrived here and entered the building it was cool, dry, calming, and pristine.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This is where I spent a lot of time during the summers growing up. The air is cool, crisp, and thin. The smell is clean and un-polluted. The views are stunning. The life is simple. There are no bugs!!! Picnics in the pasture, nights in a one room cabin, little or no electricity. Ice cold lake water. A spring house a smoke house, things I had never heard of, that now I want. This is where I want to end up, forever.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span id="goog_469157524"></span><span id="goog_469157525"></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span id="goog_1809067113"></span><span id="goog_1809067114"></span></div>Jack Kennedyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02406918195972195713noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6147352112535271668.post-64824933200040265562011-04-26T20:38:00.001-04:002011-05-02T14:08:12.377-04:00St. Mary's House - A writers Retreat Drawings and IdeasThese are the original drawings that I did for St. Mary's writers retreat.

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">First floor plan. The office is at the front of the building to the left. The space can accommodate a conference table for 8 as well as an office/writing desk. The living room is directly behind the office. There are stairs up to a loft. The Living space is large enough to accommodate intimate seating at the fireplace, a sitting area in the center of the room and a small space for dining for two. The bedroom is at the back of the living space to create more privacy with an en-suite bathroom as well. The kitchen connects the living room to the public reading room in the rear of the structure, far right. This allows the kitchen to function for both spaces and also create a privacy gradient between public and private spaces. The public reading room has been opened up to the outdoors with french doors and windows all around. If possible a screen porch on the back would be ideal. The reading space also has a built in desk for writing, chair storage, and a public bath. The space can also be used for dining for larger crowds. </td></tr>

We began with education and the role it plays in interior design. <br />
<br />
While some feel that it’s being in the right place at the right time, others know that you can create the place and time. Education teaches you the rules, so you know how to break them and when to break them. Education gives you a foundation so you know the correct ways to do things, such as produce drawings for construction. Education gives you a set of tools that help you succeed. Education teaches you history, so that when you buy a louis xiv chair for a client, you know it’s authentic because of what you learned to look for in your education process. Education is insurance for your clients. A good education is going to put you in front of the top design firms that you want to work for. With out the education most will simply overlook you. <br />
<br />
Working for these firms allows you to build experience and credentials. Both of which allow you to get better clients and better contracts. Holistic designs are awarded to designers that have the where with all to put together a cohesive package that reads as one. Being able to understand what your client is asking for and being able to deliver it are two totally different things. Many times it is up to the design professional to educate their client about the different possibilities. The client puts their trust in you because you know what you are doing and how to do it. <br />
<br />
Having a network of other design professionals gives you back up. If you have a client that you are working with and they want something you have not done before, you instantly have a peer group that can help you out. Being able to work these things out and knowing how to work with your contractors to get things done right is what your clients came to your for. <br />
<br />
The design star mentality glosses over the surface. Everything looks good, sort of, maybe, kind of, or not really. Everything is superficial. Good, educated, design will solve problems and will have substance. A good design that works well for you, solves your problems, and lasts a long time is something that you’ll not get from design star. Hire a professional, they know how to do it the right way the first time. Sure it’s more expensive up front, but you’re not re-doing it over and over and over to try to make it right.Jack Kennedyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02406918195972195713noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6147352112535271668.post-16819324167851070312011-04-18T16:38:00.000-04:002011-04-18T16:38:01.850-04:00BP13, Kennedy, Blog Post #13, IARC 221The Legacy of Scandinavian modern has instilled in us many valuable ideas. The ideas that come to my mind are: Simple, Affordable, Minimal, and Functional. The Scandinavians have taught us that we all can have thoughtfully designed products that are generally problem solving and based on substance. The top light, created by Design House, Stockholm embodies these elements. <br />

The idea is simple. A candle holder. However, it's not an entire candle holder, only part. You are forced to recycle an object you already own to make it a complete candle holder. The finished product is also simple. No excess adornment, only what you need. It's also affordable at $35.00. <br />

This is by far one of my all time favorite sites to visit. The site looks at design on multiple levels. Photography, Architecture, Art, Culture, History, and Travel. They encourage reader participation quite often. I am always amazed at what I see here. They content is global and real. I enjoy the site the most because it give you a complete view of design. Seeing what people are wearing and displaying on the walls in spaces that are newly created paints a picture for me. A picture of use, daily life, and functional beauty.<br />

This site is somewhat similar to Planet magazine, however they do have an editorial slant. They focus more on architecture which is great, especially since they critique spaces, show plans, and multiple images. You can almost immerse yourself in the buildings the review. Seeing plans is extremely important for me to understand how the space flows and how the individual spaces within the space function with each other. Their bias is toward a more modern and simplistic style that focuses on quality and substance. Unfortunately, this is often on the extreme side of expensive. The ideas are good and give good inspiration for design.<br />

This is purely a design blog, updated daily and run by Grace Bonney. It's fun, quirky, un-expected, different, inspiring, and fun. I like fun a lot!! Little touches here and there make all the difference in an interior space. The little nuances make it your own and make a space stand out. Her focus is on home and product design, so interiors and objects abound. Good design ties them all together. Occasionally food is featured which is huge for me. Food brings people together in my home and is its own form of design. I enjoy Grace's take on things and always have found inspiration in her site since it started some 6 years ago.Jack Kennedyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02406918195972195713noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6147352112535271668.post-26235770816327136192011-04-11T15:37:00.005-04:002011-04-11T17:19:15.665-04:00RR 12, Pavilion<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1EJe4SlFAxM-W22SOwRf9Y2BzsKgPryX5Hp9z7S9mK0VV16UiIs-dLZucO4TyVn9yj4w5aYlZ3K56FbbVIy-749Jbt8tn-9p2jUvazEPQ0bXdH-OxOla_RcUHl07S0c8-7SAlTlsvR143/s1600/pavilion.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="308" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1EJe4SlFAxM-W22SOwRf9Y2BzsKgPryX5Hp9z7S9mK0VV16UiIs-dLZucO4TyVn9yj4w5aYlZ3K56FbbVIy-749Jbt8tn-9p2jUvazEPQ0bXdH-OxOla_RcUHl07S0c8-7SAlTlsvR143/s400/pavilion.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMLqd5trJlEnMkWDos-THMfk2TCX98bLOYKkekmVHWF-M-LGEFFRbJ1NyFQB4roXdwI1Zvl9COSJddmb8GIXzZeCjyNiD6QzskaUoYiGGY7LYFlqfqs1tkk5NSnMOzjEFjrljccb7w_N-w/s1600/pavilion.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">For me the Flip Flop represents good design for all. Flip Flops are inexpensive and available to almost everyone in the world. They perform a basic function of protecting the sole of the foot. This is a necessity for most cultures. Here in the states they protect our delicate feet from super hot asphalt and beach sand during the summer. In more rural areas the protect the sole of the foot from the rugged terrain. The simplicity of the flip flop means that almost anyone can make them, regardless of education. In their simplest form they can be made from local materials that are on hand or they can be more elaborate and be made with leather and adornments. One of the beauties of the flip flop is the ability of an individual to personalize them. Choose your own color, choose the decoration, create your own style. This expressionism allows the flip flop to go from casual to formal, cheap to expensive, utilitarian to uber comfortable. These are the reasons why the Flip Flop represents good design for all.</div>Jack Kennedyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02406918195972195713noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6147352112535271668.post-20135100678688852162011-04-08T14:42:00.000-04:002011-04-08T14:42:00.704-04:00US2 - Unit two summary - ReverberationsUnit Two - Reverberations<br />
<br />
Searching. This is the word that comes to mind when looking back through the second unit of the semester. Everyone is searching for the next architectural style, the new thing, the best, the biggest, the most modern. In our previous unit we looked at foundations, setting the first stones, learning and making mistakes. This unit is the next level and builds upon the first. For all these new styles to be developed one thing is necessary, money. During this time period the church has the greatest where with all to build buildings. Therefore; we study a great deal of churches.<br />
<br />
Cathedrals stand out in the west and are the focus for Roth. Their massive size, their awe inspiring height, the great use of glass, and stone. They are solid, stable, and enlightening. Exactly what partitioners are looking for during this scary time to be alive. Fear makes everything the church does possible. We examined the progression of styles of churches from early romanesque buildings, which are heavy and dark, to the high gothic buildings that are light and airy. We compared these structures to music and the music that would have been played in the cathedrals when they were being built. The music and the architecture hold a very close bond and we decided that architecture is indeed frozen music. When we look to the east we see a more harmonious evolution of temple design, which Ching focuses on. In india we see the shikara, the hindu cosmos. This idea leads the eye all around the building, constant motion, with no one place to settle. The styles in the east also relate to the music they are playing. <br />
<br />
The east and the west are connected by this concept as well as the concept of Regional Dialects. Stylistically buildings are starting to speak a similar language, yet their dialects are different. Materials used in the building showcase this the best. A prime example is the Duomo in Florence Italy with it’s clay tile roof, which is the roofing choice of the region. For these buildings to have a similar language means that people are now traveling. <br />
<br />
When people travel they need a map to help them get where they are going. In the map’s oldest form we use the “method of Loci.” This puts everything in spatial terms, think cognitive, mental, or mind map here. Everything is centralized around the one and only, you, as long as you’re the church! Most of the early maps represent a small area and are christian based. They quickly expand and start to become world maps which would indicate world exploration. This also indicates an enlightened population, not only in the people, but, also in the architecture or places. Through this enlightening process we create a set of rules, based on the past and what did not work in the past. In the west we focus on moving forward, putting man in the center, and strive for harmony and order in all things. Think calm, serene spaces where individuals stand separate. In the east we focus on community needs, sustainability, and maintaining continuity with the past. Overall, we are still searching for what is modern.<br />
<br />
In an effort to find the next set of modern ideas, we break all the rules we have just made in the west. We examine the Baroque period where we stand as a player in the scene. We engage all the senses and employ drama in everything. Then we take these ideas even further, breaking all the rules of the renaissance, with the evolution of Rococo. Everything is adorned, decorated, and touched.<br />
<br />
So far we have made lots of progress. We know what does and what does not work. We have created rules, broken rules, lost all our knowledge and regained it. Things are pretty good on the home front so now it’s time for us to go exploring and expand our world. Colonial expansion begins and we begin to spread our ideals everywhere we go. This means change, lots of change, which leads to revolution. Small things start becoming more important. Collecting wealth and showing it off is important. Personal possessions start to show worldliness and having means. Chairs are seen in sets. It’s expensive to make a chair, even more expensive to make a matching pair. Sets of 6, 8, or more make a very big statement. Multiples of items become somewhat easier to obtain with the onset of the Industrial revolution. This takes us to a new set of ideals with mass production. Think tinker toys and erector sets. Everything that was once impossible and unattainable will start to be available for everyone. Styles become more simple and basic again. We have a new set of rules to write now. It’s almost like we are starting over, or is it just another revolution in the design process? <br />
<br />
Revolutions are constant in our world; from person, to object, to space, to building, to place. We are surrounded by revolution on a daily basis. It’s part of our quest to be modern. Our constant need to search for what is modern creates revolution in our lives. During the past unit we have explored the creation of modern. Through this we have come to understand that all buildings when built embody what modern is.<br />

The image above is of the Galleria Vittorio in Milan which opened in 1867. When it opened " it was seen as an engineering and urban marvel." (Ching 665) To me this building exemplifies the reverberations unit. The rules are followed and the rules are broken here. Classical facade layout has been practiced. However; interior elements, like frescos now appear on the exterior facade, domes reserved for the church are now in the shopping mall, streets are covered, not open and the roof is now glass and you can see through it. Multiple styles have been combined with new technologies to create a modern space for shopping. We still use this format today for a mall, yet if we look closely we see new malls now having outdoor street sections, revolution.....Jack Kennedyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02406918195972195713noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6147352112535271668.post-88402419866857615252011-04-06T15:04:00.000-04:002011-04-06T15:04:42.735-04:00Kennedy, Blog Post #11, IAR 221For this weeks blog post I'm choosing the Farnsworth House, Designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe to explore the rise of modernism. <br />

</tbody></table>At its roots the Modern movement is based on a new machine aesthetic. We see the ideas of no adornment, standardized construction parts, new materials and new techniques. More functionality combined with lightness and space are key ideas. The Farnsworth house exemplifies all these ideas. <br />
<br />
The house has been reduced to a ceiling and a floor. The roof, now flat, abandons the previous peaked roofs that are more standard. There is no Grounding element other than shadow. The typical base that a house sits on is now 10 poles. The walls have been replaced with glass, completely the opposite of traditional construction. New technology and techniques are a must for this type of structure to be built. We see a connection to the landscape, not by the house, but for the occupants. They are now thrust into the landscape around them, the outside is now inside, completely. The floor plan has evolved into an open plan with public and private spaces overlapping. We see no adornment and there is a lightness with the structure. It barely touches the ground and seems to be floating. <br />
<br />
Modernism is important for individuals at the turn of the century for a variety of reasons. The movement shows a sense of education is present. A sense of accomplishment. New materials and techniques show a society that is progressing and is smart and rich enough to build the newest and best. This is a concept that has been around since the beginning and we see it repeat over and over.Jack Kennedyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02406918195972195713noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6147352112535271668.post-83334942422074150452011-04-06T14:09:00.000-04:002011-04-06T14:09:44.993-04:00RR 11, Prairie Style<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUp-DNPnd7Bif7Vu7U3r25_g02xnVqOumagawbTLal9tN8tVpgPC4hyLt26uE0cCo1Y2xPgbQjwMLqdTiMKV70hyAIyr01iYOZcMrHqAhEgPLhvDYHwrtDX4Kf98upNabL8PS_gq1jVNx4/s1600/prairie.style.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="308" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUp-DNPnd7Bif7Vu7U3r25_g02xnVqOumagawbTLal9tN8tVpgPC4hyLt26uE0cCo1Y2xPgbQjwMLqdTiMKV70hyAIyr01iYOZcMrHqAhEgPLhvDYHwrtDX4Kf98upNabL8PS_gq1jVNx4/s400/prairie.style.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Jack Kennedyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02406918195972195713noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6147352112535271668.post-24456321130296576422011-04-05T10:54:00.000-04:002011-04-05T10:54:06.278-04:00Monticello - Plan from memory and ponderances.....<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK0VFK6DEivLxKISOhv7n0wojG1gnFm_HRTr2tdnjdxWEs463xczkZGNFqoPlbdYoVXbXqAfPZObXPZvtUnCiNiAZ9GbDlNfSK5fyZPBnBpAJKqm_FuryW-HscrwippfZLeeHhMLGQRkLj/s1600/monticello.plan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK0VFK6DEivLxKISOhv7n0wojG1gnFm_HRTr2tdnjdxWEs463xczkZGNFqoPlbdYoVXbXqAfPZObXPZvtUnCiNiAZ9GbDlNfSK5fyZPBnBpAJKqm_FuryW-HscrwippfZLeeHhMLGQRkLj/s400/monticello.plan.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>From our trip to Monticello and Falling Water, I chose to write about Monticello. Monticello is a more formal layout which resonates more with and how I live. There is a privacy gradient from formal to personal space which I enjoy in a home. I am most intrigues in the ways that Jefferson built the house. The structure was a constant design evolution, Putting up and Tearing down. His does seem to be an extreme case though. The technologies that he used intrigue me. Using octagonal rooms to avoid dark corners and give you more usable wall space. I didn't think this would work in theory, yet in actuality it does so quite well. Triple hung windows, aid in ventilation as well as act as impromptu doors. The brick pattern, which ads strength to the structure. I really enjoy tall ceilings and the relationship to how one feels in the space. What is tall enough and what is too tall or not tall enough. This concept was definitely challenged at Falling Water. The ceilings there were 6'4", which I thought would be extremely oppressive, yet they were not. I was most perplexed in Jefferson and his "perfect outside" of his home related to the many un-resolved interior issues. Such as window sizes, Moldings and trim not being correct. I would have thought that he could have this figured out. Seeing a classical structure such as Monticello and comparing that to A modern structure such as Falling Water was amazing.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> For me Silver carries a message of revolution. During the Revolutionary war in the U.S.A. the way that one ate with their silver told others who they stood with, which side there were on. Those eating in the continental style were the enemy. The "proper" form in which Americans eat today is not continental style, it's an adapted style. A style that was developed to be different and to show others that they were different. Silver also represents Revolution in the way that it is produced. Once reserved for royalty only, new technology in the industrial revolution allows for mass production of silver pieces. This allowed the newly emerging middle classes to live like the king. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Silver also represents stratification in the classes. Only those with the resources could afford silver, which separated the classes. Some patterns like the one pictured take it a step further. The first picture shows the basic pattern. The second picture shows the three basic pieces, fork, knife, and spoon. Here we see that they are engraved. So we have taken a newly "mass" produced item and added a layer of hand tooling or customization to the object. This adds a layer of stratification to the haves.<br />

Above is a close of up the fork handle. You can see the hand engraving as well as the monogram. so we have, not only custom pattern engraving, but also, initial of the owners. A second layer of stratification for the haves.<br />

One of the greatest aspects of separation is seen in the above pieces. From left to right, oyster fork, ice cream fork, and grapefruit spoon. All of these items were created for one purpose, to eat one individual item. This item would have been an extreme luxury during the time, especially considering a specific piece of silver was made for its consumption.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The final layer would be in serving pieces. Coffee services, trays, large serving pieces. All are large in scale, serve a specific task, are highly ornamented, and highly coveted. This starts the clock for future revolutions. The haves end up having more and more and the have nots, less and less. This creates unrest and ultimately can lead to another revolution. </div>Jack Kennedyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02406918195972195713noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6147352112535271668.post-51593618498366426402011-03-27T22:34:00.001-04:002011-03-27T22:34:28.693-04:00RR10, Revolution<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQTNBsm4r5KW7HXdzppo3_tT2US-pEpV4qPNt-7ZjQ0p-8-F-a8Wt2bF-0lG5FAS3FqOaGbjsGTMMbN30plY77s7l6iBoX_k3V6J511-zbEOjAh3SBbv2Itgc6V0jFmmcC2ANnd8W2Tomc/s1600/Revolution.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="308" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQTNBsm4r5KW7HXdzppo3_tT2US-pEpV4qPNt-7ZjQ0p-8-F-a8Wt2bF-0lG5FAS3FqOaGbjsGTMMbN30plY77s7l6iBoX_k3V6J511-zbEOjAh3SBbv2Itgc6V0jFmmcC2ANnd8W2Tomc/s400/Revolution.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Jack Kennedyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02406918195972195713noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6147352112535271668.post-66875447582735036542011-03-21T16:07:00.000-04:002011-03-21T16:07:07.928-04:00Kennedy, Blog Post #9, IARC 221Through the development of buildings the dome has come to symbolize power, wealth, and the heavens. Originally for the church only, they become more and more prevalent everywhere as time marches forward. Colonial expansion to the United States proved to be an excellent place for us to adapt the Dome to our own liking. Look around and we will see our Nations capitol has a dome. This directly trickles down to many of the state capital buildings as well. This starts to create a cohesive "look" for our democracy and sets up a Language of government for us.<br />

I'm choosing a group of objects by a singular company, Apple. Apple was created here in the states, all the design work is here in the states. Multitudes of jobs are created by Apple across the entire world. The new colonial expansion has put intuitive, well designed products that work in the hands of millions. People crave new items from them. It's almost like a religion. Individuals work long hard hours, save up their money and give it all to the new Religion..... maybe that is a bit far, or not. Their products and the use of their products has created their very own lexicon for what technology is and should be. Click on the image below to see the progression of design ideas that has come from Apple and has been spread across the world.<br />

Ideas the make for a pleasant space are identified and reasoning for them explained. For the St Mary’s house writers retreat I feel there are two major issues to deal with. First is how to deal with public/vs private space and secondly, how to get an abundance of natural light into the rooms. With these ideas in mind I plan to utilize the following ideas from the reading:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Intimacy Gradient - Short Passages - Indoor Sunlight </div><br />
Intimacy gradient is the greatest challenge in the space. How do you create a very public space, combine that with a semi-public space, combine that with a private space, and combine that with an intimate private space, such as a bedroom. Utilizing an intimacy gradient will create suggested or inferred lineation between these spaces. Arranging the space sot that the public spaces are on the outer fringe and the closer you get to the inside the more private the space becomes. In the space that I am designing there will be a public office at the front and a public reading room at the rear. The public reading room can be completely closed off from the private space with a door. I feel this is necessary to protect the private from the most public area. The office will have space for a conference table and a writing desk and will link to the living space of the house through a bookcase lined corridor. The bedroom, one of the most intimate spaces is only accessible through the living room and the private bathroom accessible through he private bedroom. This arrangement creates this privacy gradient and separates the most intimate spaces.<br />
<br />
The idea of short passages is a way for me to create an intimate welcoming space. Along the west wall, the wall with the fireplace, the passage is created. The awkward placement of the windows aligns them between rooms that have been created. This is somewhat deliberate in a way to share light between all the rooms. I propose to build built in book cases along the majority of the west wall and to incorporate large window seats under the two windows. These would act as a reflection space. One between the office and living room and one between the living room and kitchen. This instillation allows for the creation of short passages that are full of interest and are functional. They are not just a hall that is wasted space, they provide storage and extra seating as well.<br />
<br />
Indoor sunlight is a huge issue in the space. The front of the structure faces south and has an attached porch which limits the light that can enter. The east side has three large windows that open to a wooded area. The same is true for the north side of the structure, all windows face a wooded area. The only good source for light is on the west wall, where there are only three windows, which are awkwardly placed. To solve this issue I plan to keep most of the west wall open, or without division or closed off rooms. This will allow the office, living, dining, and kitchen to all share the light from this side of the house. I also am proposing the addition of three skylights in the roof on the east side. Here they can introduce an abundance of filtered light and not be visible from the street to satisfy historic code requirements. <br />
<br />
These three ideas will create a welcoming and functional space while preserving the historic nature of the building. Intimate spaces, large gathering spaces, comfortable living quarters unite here to provide the perfect writers retreat for any writer.Jack Kennedyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02406918195972195713noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6147352112535271668.post-43893370197545728062011-03-15T16:33:00.000-04:002011-03-15T16:33:41.952-04:00Dining together day<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

The event takes place bi-annually on the summer and winter solstice. We were to design a space, a dining table, and a sideboard to incorporate 4-10 people. In my parti I explored the ideas of circles, lemons, greens, yellows, and other naturally occurring ideas for my inspiration. Here is the final project, it's parts, and my process.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

After coloring the ceiling an ivory color I feel that a pale almost sky like blue would be more appropriate as this would visually tie the ceiling and outdoor sky together, helping the room relate more to the outdoors around it.</td></tr>
