Reclaiming Place/Reframing Space – Conference Project This class has encouraged me to rethink the way i think and work in Heimbold. I will always stand up for Heimbold, but lately I have been more critical. Going beyond the water issue,…
Remix the City: Conference Project Post #1 — Infographic
For my conference project, I’m doing an infographic on the evolution of journalism. It’s not really a space-altering project, but because I’m going into journalism after I graduate this semester, I’m using this as a way to learn digital media…
Remix the City: Space HiJack— Falling Down
http://instagram.com/p/vB5vYADqkE/ For my box project, I wanted to play with the idea of how we present ourselves and our internet presence (a pseudo internet identity), and how one can actually present the truth of their physical/mental state. I took my profile picture…
Remix the City: Space HiJack — Take Some Art/Leave Some Art
This project ended up rather simple. At first I had a lot of ideas for this project. I love anything that calls for interaction or input from a lot of people. My ideas all gave people instructions in one way…
Remix the City: Sticker Project — Our Benefactors
I got my idea almost immediately. After assessing Heimbold’s visual code, I realized that the building reminded me more of a museum than a place of creation. The white walls, the big empty spaces, and the general sterile vibe this…

Remix the City: Comment — Formulary for a New Urbanism

Remix the City: Space HiJack — Living Room
Here are some photos of our hallway-livingroom intervention. It represents my idea of a new urbanism. Contemporary cities, though shaped by humans, are devoid of humanity. They are overly structured and lack individual engagement. They are built to maximize efficiency, not…

Remix the City: Questions of Space
Can space contain? If space can contain, is it restrictive? Is space context? Is space destructible? If space is destructible, can it be rebuilt? Can space be atmospheric? Who/what controls the atmosphere of space? Can space be shared? Can shared…
Remix the City: Questions of Space
Are we extensions of our space? Could space be an individual’s mental and physical exchange with the environment? (Like a rhizome, or a Spinozian metabolic rhythm?) Can space take a form or is it free flowing and ambiguous? If not positive…
Remix the City: Conference Project Post #1 — Bubble Tent
For my conference project I am going to make a a tent out of bubble wrap. I want to put lights on the inside and cushions on the floor and make it a space that contrasts with the cold impersonal…

Remix the City: Space HiJack — BIZARREBAZAAR BOX
My box project was funny. When I thought about what makes me happy, I said dressing up. I love clothes. I love everything about a dressing room littered with textiles. So I wanted to create a dressing room. On gimp…
