i am clockwise

i am intially clockwise, now i see both.


The Right Brain vs Left Brain test ... do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?

If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.

Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.

LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS uses logic detail oriented facts rule words and language present and past math and science can comprehend knowing acknowledges order/pattern perception knows object name reality based forms strategies practical safe

RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS uses feeling "big picture" oriented imagination rules symbols and images present and future philosophy & religion can "get it" (i.e. meaning) believes appreciates spatial perception knows object function fantasy based presents possibilities impetuous risk taking

btw, i'm declaring psychology minor monday.

ordos 100

for a while now arch daily has been featuring these Ordo projects one by one but it finally caught my attention today with the entry from Atelier Bow Wow whom i also just found out today that one of the partners, Yoshiharu Tsukamoto will be lecturing at Slocum sometime soon.
So i went and googled it.

Project Statement: The scope of the project is to Develop 100 hundred villas in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, China, for the Client, Jiang Yuan Water Engineering Ltd. FAKE Design, Ai Wei Wei studio in Beijing, has developed the masterplan for the 100 parcels of land and will curate the project, while Herzog and de Meuron have selected the 100 architects to participate. The collection of 100 Architects hail from 27 countries around the globe. The project has been divided into 2 phases. The first phase is the development of 28 parcels while the second phase will develop the remaining 72. Each architect is responsible for a 1000 square meter Villa.

It reminded me of a project I've studied last semester, Borneo Sporenburg master planed by West 8. These projects where the master-planner set up guidelines and the overall vision for the project, then invite other architects to put their two cents in are really interesting. The whole project then becomes this unique identity.. composed of different identities in coherence.

my kind of art

"no plan survives first contact with the enemy.

sometimes being dumb is the only smart alternative.

shy people are secretly egoists.

nothing is real.

everything you see is a dream you project onto the world.

children live out their parents unconscious.

the only animals that suffer from anxiety are the ones that associate with humans.

i don't trust people who are very articulate.

the only way to be sane is to embrace your insanity.

when you feel guilty about being sad, remember walt disney was a manic depressive.

everything i said could be totally wrong."
