Austin Samson // SCI Arc Portfolio // 2013
Portfolio containing the first three semesters at SciArc's M.Arch 2 program
Austin Samson Southern California Institute Of Architecture M.Arch 2 email@example.com 2012-2013 Intro An AD-Hoc Approach To Digital Computation The purpose of this Portfolio is to convey the virtuosity of digital technique through the design and fabrication of architectural elements of multiple scales. The use of digital programming for any type of design has become so popular that it is now embedded in most, if not all, firms across the world. It is now the task of Avant-Garde schools, professors, and firms to keep on pushing the use of these techniques in hopes of discovering ways of creating never before seen forms and spaces that are capable of conveying the ever evolving theories that accompany them. There are numerous paths that have been taken in order to push, refine, or invent new techniques of 3D modeling. Patrik Schumacher for example has perused a discourse he labels as Parametricism, in short, the ability for digital design to produce fully integrated forms that allow for the highest level of human communication; where nothing begins or nothing ends, everything is singular and interconnected with everything else; more of an urban approach. Other firms still cling onto the High Tech usage of digital programs such as Foster and Partners or Renzo Piano. The High Tech calls for the invention of new building methods and machinery to produce buildings that respond to more conventional architectural problems such as building efficiency, cost, and green design. I on the other hand, am more interested in a much different approach which takes a closer look at a much wider variety of programs that we as designers have available to us. There are many different types of programs and building techniques that have been created to perform certain tasks for example Maya was created as animation software to create animated film, ZBrush is a sculpting program for video game designers, and programs like TouchDesigner were created for advanced interactive video projection. The goal I am trying to achieve is the ability to understand what happens when your force architecture to utilize these programs in ways that they are not meant to be used. This approach can be deemed an AD-HOC approach to digital computation in architecture. The term Ad Hoc can refer to the ability of one to create makeshift solutions or shifting contexts to create new meanings or improvised events. Therefore, I am calling the ability to use digital means of design and fabrication outside of their intended use for the purpose of architectural design as AD-HOC-ISM. Instances of Ad Hocism providing answers to technological issues are clearly outlined and explained in Space Suit by Nicholas de Monchaux. Space Suit is a book that explains Ad Hocism's ability to provide us with unintended answers to technological problems by citing numerous inventions, the primary being the invention of the Apollo AL7 Pressure Garment, "which used the industrial division of the Playtex Bra and Girdle Company, against stiff opposition from hard, one-piece suits much beloved by designersâ€? (Monchaux). By linking this piece of writing to the digital techniques we use to design architecture, I hope to find new ways of creating unintended form as a result from a high understanding of the latest digital means of design and production and how they can be used in sync with one another.

The notion of creating space through the layering of things is not new, we can look at Aldo Van Eyck as a way to understand what it means to create space though different techniques of layering with surfaces and volumes to create courtyards, outer space, and inner space. This project aims to re-think the way in which Van Eyck creates his space by using different methods such as carving. Hierarchy is achieved through the use of a Jungle as a frame for understanding how many things inter – relate to one another. At first glance, a jungle appears chaotic, messy, and uncontrolled. However, when one takes a much closer look, a Jungle is a system of many things that are intertwined and highly organized in order to create a very strict relationship between all things that occupy the space. This project aims to do the same. Hierarchy begins with the 6 large chunks that have been carved from the original primitive. They have a hierarchy in themselves as the volumes within volumes become smaller and larger depending on how each chunk is carved out. Secondary and tertiary elements are then added that account for structure and circulation that mitigates between the larger chunks. Solid mass is then added to take up leftover space, and a shell is added to enclose the space. To complete the hierarchy, architectural elements such as floor plates and stairs are added. It is important to note that each element is its own thing and carries its own set of characteristics, scale, and textural quality. As equally important, elements do not blend into other elements. Floor plates are separate objects that are not grafted into walls or other things, for example. This is done in order to maintain the Jungle – like effect. It also forces one to consider how two separate things react with one another and how one thing can force another to evolve or change rather than to simply overtake it. Corruption of the project can be found in multiple instances. It began with the decision to create volumes within volumes rather than a solid mass, thus dramatically changing the effect carving would have. It can be found in the details, where edges of the carved chunks begin to puff out like a bruised lip. Strange seems begin to appear where different things are forced to interact with one another. Corruption can also be found in the moment of second carving. After the space was filled with things, a second round of carving was used to create occupiable space within the dense jungle. Here, the insides of the chunks are ripped out, leaving behind a messy, torn version of what it once was. Program is dictated by breaking each chunk into multiple levels of space, where the top floor of each chunk is used as residential space and each subsequent floor is used for museum program. Occupiable space is found both within the chunks and on the outside of the chunk. This allows one to become fully immersed within the carved spaces, but still be allowed to view the carved pieces as things within a space.

This is done by using conventional drawing techniques, such as hatching, in new ways to represent shade and shadow. The layering of these hatching techniques may either enhance shadow, produce fake shadow (where shade is literally painted on) or flatten areas of the image in order to produce moments of ambiguity within each drawing. Projection in orthographic view is one of the techniques used to created the imagery. The projection of shade and shadow onto 3 Dimensional objects like a sphere or square give new insight to how we understand depth within a 2 Dimensional image. Animated projection was also used by projecting animated shadow movements onto a sectional relief model to produce and object whose depth is continuously changing and being altered. The geometry was created on an outside first, inside second process. The outside geometry is meant to be a convex, multi-sided object that has been smoothed to remove any hard edges, much like a weathered rock. This produces a sort of Michael Meyers (Halloween mask) type effect. A single hard edge and sculpted cut out of the object gives it a point to be oriented against. Instances of shadow were then interpreted and painted on the outside to produce levels of ambiguity within the object, moments where you are unsure if geometry extends into darkness or brightness or if it stops short. The inside of the object is separated from the outside, rather than just an offset, these squares intersected by spheres allow us to understand the difference between a hard edge and a soft "edge" and how the projection of imagery can enhance or fake those moments. Hatching was the primary technique used to interpret shade and shadow and is what helps tie the entire project together by giving a single direction to the hatching that is continuous throughout the project. Different densities of hatch help darken, lighten, flatten, or add contrast to each image and the single type of hatch in the same direction do not over clutter the composition. Diagonal structured components were used to enforce the direction of the imagery. The project is meant to explore new ways of understanding how designers create and read projects through orthographic images and the projection of imagery onto 3 dimensional objects. This project is about the drawing and how it can translate into other mediums.

New representational techniques were explored such as the pealing away of outer skins in order to show the inner components which allowed for a greater graphic connection between the outside of the building and what happens on the inside. The project chosen was the New Painterly Project shown on the previous pages of this Portfolio.

But this time the study will be conducted through the eyes of a scientist - as opposed to those of an artist, and instead of using conventional representational techniques, this project will explore the use of Maya. Reflecting this shift in current professional and acedemic discourse, the excersize will explore how the use of software redefines the concept of form. Encouragement to think in terms of organic growth and wholeness, instead of stillness and compositional parts is apparent. 45 Line Drawing Art Forms Of Nature Austin Samson Austin Samson Art Forms Of Nature Line Drawing 46 Visual Computation Tableau Vivant Prof: Elena Manferdini Partner: Andrew Choi This project is an experiment that deals with the relationship between coloration, surface treatment, materials, and geometric relief. There is an interaction among different techniques of representation: 3D Data aquisition with 123D Catch by Autodesk, detailing and poly-painting in Zbrush by Pixologic, and work flow with modeling software like Maya by Autodesk. Issues of digital visualization and rendering were brought up while creating an imaginary landscape that departs from analog modes of design. An exhibition was held to showcase the the images which also included two videos that projected each landscape morphing through a series of conditions over time. The exhibition was designed and fabricated by a team of students: Andrew Choi, Jeff Halstead, Sam Sun, and lead by myself. Austin Samson Tableau Vivant Exhibition Setup 50 Visual Computation Exact Forms Prof: Andrew Atwood Partner: Danny Karas This project explores the use of animated hatching as a way to show shadow movement over an object. Through the use of a program called TouchDesigner, we were able to project an animation of shadow movement represented as hatching onto an object. The exploration of projectiing onto geometry is a way to test diferent levels of ambiguity within real space and on physical objects, rather than just in an image or video. Austin Samson Exact Forms Hatching Projection 54 55 Hatch Projection Exact Forms Austin Samson Austin Samson Exact Forms Hatch Projection 56 Digital Computation Coding Form Prof: Satoru Sugihara Coding Form is a series of exercises that involve the use of grasshopper, an algorithmic design plugin for Rhino3D. Grasshopper is probably best known for its ability to design parametrically through the use of "sliders" that control the parameters of a system. The problem with parametric design is that it utilizes programs like grasshopper as a top down design system where grasshopper is the only design tool being used. Granted it outputs some interesting forms but it results in many designs that are homogeneous. The second issue with letting algorithmic programs dictate design is that it tends to remove the architects responsibilities to design a building that is for the people. Digital programs like this do one of two things. They either completely ignore the fact that these buildings are meant for use by humans and rely solely on their ability to produce something "cool" OR they rely on information of the masses and assume all people act in the same way or manner which is also problematic. The next series of projects aim to suggest a new way of algorithmic design where programs like grasshopper are not the driving force of design but are simply just one tool that is utilized to carry out a pre-determined design goal. These projects also attempt to convey a level of randomness within the design. Typically algorithmic programs output very controlled and "gradient like" designs that change slightly over time. These projects call for the corruption of the parametric type design with random, seemingly uncontrolled results that are in fact very precise in how they are made.

The relationship between multiple fields as well as between objects and fields is informed by an approach that mines the potential of heterogenity. The ensemble, where each part is considered in relation to its resonance with the whole, is approached from a perspective of mutable part-to-whole relationships capable of embracing both a logic of the discrete in which geometric and material entities maintain clear identities and performances, as well as a sensibility of melded, compound entities. A series of analog processes were used to create a cast of objects that were then scanned into the computer and analyzed as digital models. The models were then re-interpreted as characters placed on the site who took on distinct features giving them a life-like quality. The landscape was also created using a series of analog techniques that involved casting latex and unwrapping it to a flattened state. The process and end result provided a surface that could then be analyzed and interpreted into the designed landscape.

Because of this, there is now a gap between the architect and the structural engineer that needs closing, especially when architecture is progressing toward unique and unexplored building forms. In order to close this gap, modeling programs such as SmartForm are being created in order to provide architects with a modeling program that can carry across structural concepts. These programs understand the potentials of established structual systems such as membranes, shells, tension structures, plates, and cable-nets. The next three projects are meant to explore the use of SmartForm to explore membrane tension, catenary chains, and a combonation of tension and compression. Understanding both the digital aspect of SmartForm and the physical aspect of modeling these digital forms is key. In Tension: The first project explores the use of gravity and weight to hold a membrane fabric in constant tension in order to maintain it's form. The membrane fabric used is panty hose. A series of rings were used to apply form with the bottom ring being weighted to hold the fabric in tension. Catenary Forming: The second project uses the idea solidifying catenray chains to produce a dome like structure. Suspended Form. The third project uses a combonation of tension and compression to suspend a structure in space. 87 Structural Analysis In Tension Austin Samson Austin Samson In Tension Physical Model/Scale 88 89 Physical Models Catenary Forming Austin Samson Plan Iso Elevation A Austin Samson Elevation B Catenary Forming Force Diagrams 90 91 Rendering/Physical Model Suspended Form Austin Samson Austin Samson Suspended Form Force Diagrams 92 Digital Computation Advanced Building Systems Prof: Ilaria Mazzolini Jeff Landreth Partner: Greg Ingalls This project looks at new ways of understanding econimic design solutions for complex structures through the use of Ecotect combined with grasshopper. By using the two programs in unison, an optomized sun shade was able to be created for the building.

In the earlier experiments, we discovered that the markers were capable of producing streaks of very fine linework when they are used in a specific manner. During later experiments we spent time trying to understand all the different parameters that can affect the type of streak, the density of the streaks, and the thickness of the lines. During final production we refined and mastered those parameters so that we could begin to control the discrepancies of the linework in a much more localized and decisive fashion. The parameters we were taking control over included the tension of the canvas as it was being hung, the dryness and thickness of the marker, the path of the marker, the amount of pressure given to the marker against the canvas, and the type of stroke. The result was a series of paintings that used a hand-like wrist movement (much like a painter stoking a brush) along the contours of a face that were created by using a 3D model of a face within a digital interface. Each series of paintings changes slightly in density and lineweight as we pressed the canvas harder against the marker and allowed the marker to dry out over the course of its path.

By taking advantage of the advanced manufacturing capabilities from companies such as North Sails 3DL and 3DI systems and technologies, this project will explore the use of composite materials of layered carbon fiber, tow, and resin. Close attention is paid to the use of digital computation when combined with non-mechanical modes of fabrication such as adhesive assembly.

The city must be subject to its architecture, that is to say architectural form must control the city. In order to reach such a state, architecture needs to be able to separate itself from the city, its organization, and its government or what Aureli refers to as the architecture's "other". Aureli depicts this scene as an archipelago, islands within a sea, the islands being the architecture and the sea representing urbanization. The archipelago sets up the necessary conditions that allow us to understand and criticize architectural form in its true state because it is no longer being conformed to the needs of a city where politics are being struck down by its own economy. There is an intense relationship between what is framing and what is being framed. Aureli calls for a system where the architecture can create its own boundary, and this in turn modifies the sea where it lies. It is the tension that lies within the moment of contact between the sea and the architecture that I find most interesting. 112 The Infraspace Pier Aureli uses Cerda's plan of Barcelona to mark the beginning of Urbanization. Source: Absolute Architecture by Pier Aureli Aureli refers to this as the infra space, the space that lies within the moment of contact between the sea and the island. Here is where I believe Sylvia Lavin is positioning herself as well. Although maybe too literal, I cannot help but compare the sea breaking against island rocks on the shore to the way Lavin speaks of kissing in architecture as a, "coming together of two similar but not identical surfaces". Perhaps a beach where the sand is able to change form when it meets the ocean waves is closer to Lavin's explanation of, "surfaces that soften, flex, and deform when in contact… during which separation is inconceivable yet inevitable." Aureli takes great strides to inform us of how the current mindset of urbanization has been failing for some time now. Beginning with comparisons between Greece and Rome, Aureli explains how Rome's profound desire for expansion and a perfect as well as infinite urban plan ultimately led to its destruction. He points out the comparison between polis and urbs where the former, "can be described as an archipelago, not only because it took this geographical form, but also because the condition of insularity as a mode of relationships was its essential political form" (5). Contemporary Theory 2 Austin Samson The later Aureli describes as, "an insatiable network in which the empire's diversity became an all-inclusive totality." Where polis aims to frame, urbs aims to maintain its infinite qualities. The action of framing and limiting actions is important because by doing so it allows for actions to reach a full potential rather than running endlessly and carelessly into nothingness. There are other advantages to this archipelago scenario. Because Aureli calls for an absolute architecture, the possibility of scenarios falling into dangerous modes of repetition no longer exists. Creating new objects for the sake of newness no longer becomes a priority. Frederick Kiesler's Saks Fifth Avenue store window exemplifies the possibility that the exterior wall, when separated from the interior, can use multiple forms of engagement to connect itself with the urbanization of the city. Source: Kissing Architecture by Silvia Lavin Aureli's depiction of an Archipelago using Berlin's various green spacesand referring to it as a city within a city. Source: Pier Aureli Austin Samson Contemporary Theory 2 Within this archipelago scenario, confrontation between islands and the sea becomes key. There is a tension of attraction and separation that is constantly at play. It is within this tension where Aureli and Lavin should align. It's as if Aureli is setting the stage for Lavin to act. Lavin agrees with Aureli when she explains that, "even if architecture's cultural stasis is put at momentary risk by the potential infiltration of other agents that occurs when its bodily membranes are tested and pushed against, architecture can only become more resilient in the end" (23). That is to say in Aureli's perfect world, as the sea confronts the island there is bound to be change. However, it seems that up until now, the islands have been eroding away rather than standing strong within the brute force of the sea. Lavin begins to set up a series of examples that aims the moment where the sea breaks to the land. The Infraspace 113 Eventually Lavin brings up what she calls her third type of kissing architecture. This type of kiss calls for a semiautonomous state where the interior and exterior of a building are now separate and the interior is not a result of the exterior but requires an intent of design of its own. This play between outside and inside is able to give a building the ability to separate it from itself, which is what Aureli is calling for. "This surface [the exterior] is not obligated to express or manage architecture's insides and is therefore able to refocus its energies and effects centripetally to project, emanate, and exude qualities that alchemically mix with the outside" (37). At this moment, the building is both separate and yet directly tied to its outside. In Lavin's explanation, the outside is not just a public space but also the city, its organization, its urbanization, the sea. Lavin uses Frederick Kiesler's view of the shop window as an example of an exterior that "could produce new kinds of urban happenings that might begin or be catalyzed by the plane itself but that have their consequence elsewhere, out there" (89). It is also important to understand here that by separating the inside from the exterior, you do not run the risk of creating what Aureli refers to as an iconic building. I always found Aureli attempting to draw a very fine line between what is iconic and what is not. How does one design a building that removes itself from the surroundings but does not reach the level that deems it iconic? Where is that line drawn? I believe Lavin does a fine job at defining that line by explaining that the interior is separately designed from the exterior. Because there is both separation [inside separated from outside] and connection [exterior effecting "out there"] the building cannot be seen as iconic because the definition of iconic is something that is completely and totally removed from all external conditions. 114 The Infraspace 2GBX studio example of an interior created separately from its exterior. It is the above statement where I think our current studio project lies very nicely, within this boundary of separation and connection. In many cases, including mine, the exterior and interior are separate and yet very connected. The exterior of our object takes on a very blank, convex representation, yet the inside is the exact opposite in its design. Marcelo Spina is often heard referring to out theater spaces an elephant within a snake. Even though up until now our theater designs seem to be more about technique in how we use programs, they certainly warrant discussion on what political consequences our objects have based on the separation of inside to outside. There is without a doubt a moment of kissing within our designs as explained by Lavin whether we have realized it yet or not. It will be interesting to see how these projects play out and if they take on an iconic representation or if they manage to settle themselves within the infra space of separation to itself. Contemporary Theory 2 Austin Samson Bibliography Austin Samson Contemporary Theory 2 The Infraspace 115 Matter Matters A Revitalization Of Digital Craft Figure 1: Man-O-War shows the ability to create sensate matter that is controlled by understanding the indexical properties of its geometry. Source: MurMur-LA Due to the intense progression of digital programs within the discourse of architecture, materiality no longer needs to be seen as secondary to more conventional design priorities. If the interpretation and creation of material becomes the primary driver of design, then it is a requirement to understand a new workflow that allows for the understanding of matter in both its analogue and digital form. Here, there is a tension in the authority of the aesthetics that are a result of such a workflow. For some time now, maybe since the beginning, architecture has always seen organization as the primary controller for design. First organization, then materials. Payne and Roberge mention this in their writing Matter and Sense. Payne refers to the building materials as "matter" hoping that the term will bring along a new sense of importance to the materials used in architecture. "Matter as it is understood within the disciplines of biology and the natural sciences is relevant for architecture as well." Payne calls for the liberation of matter in a world where it is no longer oppressed by an over expression of organization. 116 Matter Matters Payne explains the desire to move into a new model of matter first, organization second by creating three realms of thought that must co-exist: the realm of natural sciences, the realm of philosophy, and the realm of technology. Two major points are being made within these realms, the first being that organization cannot exist prior to the creation of matter, the second being "advances in the role of computation in all phases of design inevitably changes the way we conceive and construct architecture." When working within these realms, one begins to understand the possibility for the creation of new material properties and how they can to create not only organized space, but interaction with light, touch, and any other interaction desired. Conditions of matter can now be simulated and changed though processes found within digital computation and matter becomes increasingly informed with the introduction of advanced fabrication processes that are able to provide feedback in real time. Figure 2: The Man-O-War positions itself within the tension found between the strict catenary structure above and the uncontrolled natural curls of the material below. Source: MurMur-LA Contemporary Theory 1 Austin Samson This new mode of computation requires a different mindset of the designer. There comes a shift in how traditional design elements such as points, lines, and planes are understood. Traditionally, these elements are void of value. The void is then filled with information drawn from external sources such as pre-existing programmatic needs and requirements. A new understanding would show that points, lines, and planes already contain values based on material properties such as density, pull, drag, acceleration, etc. Now, points, lines, and planes are no longer just representative but are also behavioral and can be controlled by understanding their properties as quantities and qualities. Payne refers to such geometry as 'indexical'. Figure 3: High Understanding of uncontrollable properties allow for an ordering system based on the uncontrollable variables. Source: MurMur-LA Austin Samson Contemporary Theory 1 One project comes to mind when speaking about the use of indexical geometry: the Man-O-War created by Gnuform. Here, matter is the driving force to create not only an interactive but sensate experience. This installation lies within the tension of indexical geometry and matter's ability to perform in unexpected ways. Its catenary structure allows the surface to take on any natural form through the use of weights set up within a grid mesh. This structure is what controls the hanging filaments and positions them in a controlled state. However, these filaments also have properties of their own which are equally important. The filaments are lightweight and have a natural tendency to curl and cling to one another. This removes indexical properties such as gravity from the equation and are therefore more difficult to understand and control. The ability for matter to perform in ways that are uncontrollable is not only inevitable but is often useful and can provide much potential. Here, Payne ends with saying, "discontinuities of surface, orthogonal interruptions of curves, conventional pressures on the exotic, and, most importantly, material restrictions on geometry must be handled with discipline and grace." This discipline and grace is very important when it comes to maintaining an authority over the aesthetics that lie within what we create as designers. "With great power comes great responsibility." It can be very easy to relinquish control over matter when our computers can do most of the work for us. This is why there is a need to return to the term Craft. Here, the term craft refers to the level of discipline and grace a designer presents within each project. Typically the higher level of craft, the more authority over a particular project is displayed. Authority is important because the moment we begin to relinquish it, the design is no longer a product of the designer but a product of the computer. In this case the designer has removed himself from the equation. They are no longer needed. Matter Matters 117 "Craftsmanship may suggest a way of life that waned with the advent of industrial society – but this is misleading. Craftsmanship names an enduring human impulse, the desire to do a job well for its own sake." Ramiro Diaz-Granados begins his piece entitled Craft Works: On How to Get Medieval with the quote just mentioned. Granados takes the old school concept of craft and applies it to today's digital world of computation. Craft begins to explain the tension between art and science. Art being explained as talent and technique and science as knowledge. "Socially, it (Craft) is an autographic endeavor, where designer and maker are on and the same person." Digital craft has the ability to allow designers to live within the tension created by how much we choose to relinquish control over. This has a dramatic effect on the aesthetics being created. Total relinquishment of control has proven to output aesthetics that become cliché very quickly. Granados points out the use of a voronoi as an example here. Granados then breaks down this tension into three distinct but related subjects. Each subject brings fourth a moment of tension that digital craft must lie in order to be successful. The first is Autographic vs. Allographic: from Brunelleschi to Alberti. In short, one stages the pre-renaissance time of this, "this building is mine because I built it" and, "this building is mine because I designed it." In pre-renaissance time, the allographic has become skewed as the gap between designer and builder widens. Digital craft aims at narrowing this gap by realizing the ability for designer and builder to understand the same well crafted digital model. It creates a single language that can be read by both extremes. Figure 4: Chub, the table at Sci-Arc's library, is a show of geometry that is both manual and automated. Source: Amorphis-LA The second subject is in line with Payne's claim that matter should come before organization. In this case, Granados refers to Matter vs. Geometry. Up until recently, geometry has always held the upper hand. Points, lines, and planes are void and used as a tool of representation. Vectors, curves, surfaces and mass replace points, lines, and planes. These new terms respond to Payne's description of geometry that is laden with quantifiable data that can be simulated and understood. "A return to matter through digital production is really about putting sensual (physical) intelligence on the same plateau as rational intelligence. The potential feedback loops within a matter/geometry complex requires craftsman-like dexterity with scientific precision and projection." Figure 5: Manual driven forms were created and then interpreted through automated contouring. Source: Amorphis-LA 118 Matter Matters Contemporary Theory 1 Austin Samson The third subject is Manual Operation vs. Automated Simulation. There is no doubt that scripting and parametric modeling have their place in architecture due to their productive abilities, but it is easy to let said script take control of the project in a totalizing manner. In this case details have a tendency to become over simplified. It is very important to understand when and how these scripts are being utilized by selectively choosing to use them only when needed. This is what creates the tension between manual and automated processes. Manual processes require the designer to get down and dirty with matter and geometry forcing them to fully understand the properties that are contained within. Chub is a good example of a project that lies within these moments of tension. Here we see geometry "directly and manually manipulated by operating on curve and surface components." However, this process meant that each wedge took on insignificant changes requiring massive amounts of manual labor to produce fabrication code. Therefore, it was necessary to input specific automated techniques to help control these insignificant variables to help maintain the management of parts produced. Fabrication and the usage of new tools is the third part to be covered when talking about digital craft. CNC machines, laser cutters, and robot arms have been used as tools for fabrication for many years, it is nothing new. What is new however is their ability to be utilized within the design process as a way of better understanding the matter that Payne refers to in the beginning of this essay. Both Payne and Granados mention feedback loops of information when talking about matter and being able to simulate it within digital computation. Payne mentions the uncontrollable characteristics of matter that are inevitable. Atwood is able to combine feedback loops with fabrication techniques in a way that allows designers to understand the inevitable uncontrollable conditions. Atwood refers to this feedback system as monolithic processes discussed in his paper Monolithic Representations. Figure 7: By understanding different modes of fabrication, the glitch of a loop was found and re-fabricated at different levels of intensity. Source: Atwood-A Figure 6: A fabrication process meant to understand the matter properties of resin like string as controlled changes include density and length of strand. Source: Atwood-A Austin Samson Contemporary Theory 1 "The studies were conducted based on a calibration of material control, fabrication precision, and process fidelity." Atwood was able to create a process where unpredictable behaviors of matter could be constantly discovered and fed back into the design process. The unpredictable behaviors or "glitches" as they were called were then studied as a way to understand possibilities of exploitation of such moments. Matter Matters 119 Another characteristic of matter and its digital crafting can be found within a process that is constantly moving between analogue processes and digital processes. Granados' 2GAX class of Fall 2012 explored a series of analogue processes (hand made models and explorations of material) that were then converted to digital processes and then back again. In this case, hand made volumes were created from silhouettes cut out of different material. Seams had to be sewn together and as the material changed, so did the type of seam and shape of the volume. The reverse process was also used to create unfolded landscapes from objects covered in a resin like material. Figure 8: Hand made objects were interpreted through digital processes as a way to understand obscure moments created through the analogue process. Source: Sci-Arc 2GAX Studio Digital processes were used to interpret the different conditions created as a way to re-create the hand made models. What became a driving force behind the project was the decision making that had to be made when hand making the models. Imperfections arose such as seams not meeting up correctly or awkward cuts in surfaces needed to be created. These manual decisions became the backdrop to our digital explorations and re-interpretations of these objects. Figure 11: Different modes of fabrication were used to re-output the once physical models after they had been interpreted though digital computation. Source: Sci-Arc 2GAX Studio A desire to place matter as a driving component of design, the craft used to interpret it, and the methods used to create it all fall under the realm of a new discourse in architecture where aesthetics must be a result of the designers need to be a virtuoso. The study of aesthetics is no longer what simply looks pleasing to the eye but instead it should be what can demonstrate a total understanding and control over every aspect of an idea. 120 Matter Matters Contemporary Theory 1 Austin Samson Bibliography: Softspace: From a Representation of Form to a Simulation of Space, "Matter and Senseâ€?, illustrated essay with Jason Payne, Routledge, Sean Lally and Jessica Young, editors, April 2007.

Suge Knight Will Face Trial on Charge of Stealing Paparazzo's Camera

A photographer for the Getty agency and two German reporters were among the latest journalists arrested while covering protests in Ferguson, Missouri, over the fatal police shooting of Michael Brown. At least 10 journalists have been arrested or detained since Brown, an unarmed 18-year-old, was killed Aug. 9 by officer Darren Wilson. Reporters for CNN, Al Jazeera America and other outlets say they have been harassed or physically threatened. Capt.
LOS ANGELES A Los Angeles judge on Tuesday ordered onetime rap mogul Marion "Suge" Knight and comedian Katt Williams to stand trial on charges of robbing a paparazzi photographer of her camera. Prosecutors in the case have said if Knight is convicted they will seek a sentence of 25 years to life under California's three-strikes law, which gives stiffer sentences to those previously convicted of serious felonies. Knight's attorney Thomas Mesereau told the court his client was with his son when he encountered photographer Leslie Redden, and that he was trying to protect the boy from public exposure.
On Wednesday night, Luis Escamilla is slated to become the 24th convicted killer put to death this year in the United States – with Texas accounting for half of the executions. The US supreme court last week refused to review the 33-year-old's case, the Texas board of pardons and paroles on Monday decided against a reprieve and recommending clemency and no new appeals were in the courts on Tuesday. "He's a really bad guy," trial prosecutor Fred Burns said on Tuesday. "I think what happened is the guy already committed one murder and figures that's what [officers] were coming after him for." A warrant had been issued for Escamilla in connection with the shooting death of a West Dallas neighbor nearly three weeks before James's death on 25 November 2001. Escamilla's trial attorneys told jurors he was responsible for James's slaying but argued it did not merit a death sentence because James was not officially on duty, meaning the crime did not qualify as a capital murder.
Kate Winslet will play American fashion model, artist and war correspondent Elizabeth "Lee" Miller in an untitled film to be produced by Troy Lum and Andrew Mason of Hopscotch Features. The film will document Miller's life and provide a personal glimpse of some of her most defining moments, as told in her son Antony Penrose's biography, "The Lives of Lee Miller." The producers have obtained exclusive access to the Lee Miller Archives, which is curated and managed by Penrose and includes all of Miller's photos and diaries. Producers will next look for a writer to adapt the material into a feature film.
Deepening her relationship with the network, Lena Dunham just sold a comedy pilot to HBO. Max, described as a 1960s-set comedy about a magazine writer who accidentally stumbles into the women's movement during second-wave feminism, will star actress Lisa Joyce as the titular Maxine. The Hollywood Reporter also has confirmed that Dunham will direct the pilot.
Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital is preparing to welcome an Oscar winner—just not in the way you'd think. E! News has confirmed that Denzel Washington is headed to Grey's Anatomy for the ninth episode of season 12, but as its director. The episode, which was written by Grey's head writer Stacy McKee, will begin filming later this month and is scheduled to air during November sweeps. The gig marks Washington's first time directing for the small screen. He has previously directed two films: 2002's Antwone Fisher and 2007's The Great Debaters. It also marks a reunion of sorts with longtime friend Debbie Allen, who, beyond appearing as Dr. Catherine Avery on Grey's, has directed many episodes.

Just how scared does Elizabeth Warren have Republican Senator Scott Brown? So scared he's resorted to frat-boy humor when discussing his potential challenger.
Earlier in the week Warren participated in a debate with her fellow Democratic hopefuls where she was asked how she paid for college. The question was directed against Brown who famously posed nude for Cosmopolitan. The question was a natural for Warren who has decidedly middle-American roots and has built a career advocating for middle-class families against overreach by the financial sector.
Warren's response was both playful and one that should resonate with a vast majority of Americans. "I kept my clothes on," Warren said. "I borrowed money."
What was Brown's response to Warren's dig? "Thank God."
The response has prompted EMILY's List to ask "Thank God", for what exactly? Thank God Elizabeth Warren worked hard to put herself through school? Thank God she was able to attend college even though her family wasn't wealthy? Thank God she didn't have to resort to using her body to make ends meet like too many women must do?
The actual audio of the interview is even more revealing as Brown and the host move seamlessly from discussing Warren to hot tub parties because, well, this is what it important to the voters of Massachusetts in the mind of Senator Brown.
Thank God Massachusetts has a candidate like Elizabeth Warren that understands the challenges facing 99% of Americans today.

What a base, base man. Would be great to have Warren totally crush Brown in the election. Hopefully, the constituents of MA have been paying attention to what's been said.
Patrick F:
Honey, assuming Jeffrey got his looks from her, we are ALL prettier than Jeffrey's momma. And we lie about our age less than he does. The guy claims to be 58, and he looks older than my MIL's boyfriend -- who is 79!
Anyone who isn't sure that the naughty little man whore really did take it all off, here's the proof:
If a woman had posed like that in Playboy or Hustler, the Repubs and tea baggers would be demeaning her and degrading her with every breath, screaming "Get thee to a nunnery!" like banshee and ripping the flesh from her bones like harpies. But Scotty? Oh, hell, they hardly NOTICE a butt naked man with pubic hair that reaches up past his belly button. As long as he's supporting the GOP filibuster plan, and the GOP anti-woman plan, and the GOP anti-economy plan, and the GOP anti-job plan, he could be butt naked in his seat in Congress, and none of them would comment.
I'm kind of with Robert S on this one (gasp!) = I think they just both got some good hearted jabs at each other.
Fred H's comment is spot on.
Clothes on or off this woman deserves to be in the White House.
Marie W. not true democrate weiner texted nude photos of himself and got thrown out . i think people make to big of deal over this this is 2011 i wouldnt think any diffrent of warren if she posted nude in her younger days people do silly things when your young .
Thanks for the article.
Brown posed nude for Cosmopolitan. Any woman who posed nude would not make 3 days in a political race. Nice double standard.
Thank God Elizabeth Warren, who actually uses her brain, is running against Scott Brown, whose brain seems to have been underutilized all his life.

ILK and p38 MAPK regulate PDGF-induced actin cytoskeleton polymerization in vascular SMCs. A) Mouse SMCs were treated with either vehicle (DMSO) or with 10 μM of p38 MAPK specific inhibitor SB202190 for 1 hour prior to PDGF treatment. Following treatment, cells were washed and fixed and then stained for actin filaments. Inhibition of p38 MAPK markedly blocks PDGF-induced actin polymerization and reorganization (original magnification ×400). B) Mouse aortic SMCs were transfected with 20 nM of specific ILK siRNA and then treated with 25 ng/ml of PDGF-BB for 20 minutes. Cells were then fixed and stained for actin filaments. Inhibition of ILK expression in SMCs significantly reduced PDGF-induced actin polymerization and reorganization in mouse aortic SMCs. Images are representative image of three independent experiments (original magnification ×400).

Fashola And The Igbo Question By Okafor C. Udoka
On September 26, 2013, Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola of Lagos State offered his unreserved apology over the illegal and unconstitutional deportation of 72 "destitute" alleged to be of Igbo extraction to Onitsha at the thick of the night by the Lagos State government last July; thus, formally, ending the two months old debate, ethnic war and hate occasioned by that notorious deportation.

[qeedas needurun] - If not dat d igbos ar always lokin 4 cheap publicity y bringing dis issue up again,is it by force to live in lagos?
[ubgeisa annibo] - My Heart Bleeds! Why do Nigeria Live in Sentiments? Following this thread and al i see is sentiments.
[atseini iynaefi] - Fashola,APC and Ngige are birds of the same feather.Ngige should forget ruling Anambra again
[aibij hseeg adignabab] - When u look from aerial point of view this deportation of a thing is ok,I don't see nothing wrong with it,hold ur stone b4 u cast it at me>first of all deportation of didtitutes irrespective of their tribe or region from Mega city like Lasgidi is a welcome development!!but when u look from side u'll find it offensive,because fashola is an APC Governor
[eijoko yrneh] - Not mistake but wickedness. Nngige wil be and evil man in Anambra state. He does not know God. Better shine ur eye b4 he sell kr state to Tinubu who is a tax consultant. He is interested in Onisha becos of the commercial nature.
[ohsoelok znugymmot] - Eng Sarki Salisu Usman you are right Lagos is not a no mans land. It belongs to the Yoruba people most especially the People from Eko the original lagosians
[innas oyaded era nuto] - I cant remember him apologising, he simply said he was sorry if his action was taken out contest or different meanings read to his action, he never said that I, Babatunde Fashola SAN, was sorry for deporting Ndigbos. I never supported his action, he is a learned man and never a coward.
[sesom agnebgul' eyes rgne] - FAshola is a man dat has earned my unreserved respect! I've never seen a nigerian politician coming out 2 apologise about anything! It takes a mature mind 2 say "I'm sorry" cos saying "I'm sorry" doesn't necessarily mean my action was wrong, it only means I appreciate our relationship and I want us 2 be friends again! Welldone FASH, u have written ur name in gold in Nigeria's history!!!
[ohsoelok znugymmot] - It doesn't make any sense to leave home where people would care & support you in times of need to go to other village,city,country only to become a destitute if your journey to a foreign land is not prosperous or accommodating then go back to where you are coming from its simple.
[okohso fusuy] - If u fail to vote ngige will dt add any value to d growth of d already developed lagos. By d time PDP finishes with u, u will cry 4 APC 4d rescue.
[rewop nitehserf] - Because we are so wicked and we have no heart of forgiveness, let this man be, he just only human without perfection.
[ecnerual ecnerwal] - Apc we will deport you from anambra hahaha
[tsitneics bn] - FO me he neva apologise he only ask umerited apology fo act of not understanding his action.pls let he pay d billons of naira compasation to d depotee,bring dem back & provide comfortable apartment fo dem,then apologize dem & d entire igbo d real apology,fo now fashola is power dronkard.
[silativ ekobgi] - We NDIGBO had earlier pleaded with Fashola to give us till after 16 Nov.2013 when we shall give a preliminary answer to his apology & final answer after may 29th 2015. please bear with us Barr. Alhaji Gov.
[usogo enimsiyrotciv eciruam] - It is called politics. Not because he want to but he need to so that the Igbos won't reject/spoil his interest Ngige the APC gubernatorial candidate in Anambra.
[psmlif eizog] - Fashion take your nigeria and go, thanks for reminding us our root BIAFRA. we already on it, enjoy your Lagos nigeria

[ednutomo b nhoj] - BRF should not have apologized in the first place. If CN loses Anambra polls heavens won't fall. Igbos attitude to Nigeria's development is based on ibo ideology!
[inaja deehoat] - We all must reject GET
[redle obgieke ffeg annibo] - sahara reporters, you are anti southern unity. i thought this a forgotten issue? i know that the purpose of coming up with this old issue again is to encourage disarray among the southerners. please next time, keep the post of this kind in your shelve for your personal use.
[enegn yelsgnik] - We will soon celebrate BIAFRA so that nobody will deport each other
[miharbi obmag] - the only thing an IGBO man know how to do best is empty noise.
[miharbi akaisi dammahum] - Deport more of them if there need. U deport hausa nobody make noise
[anneki eweludn] - You guys are deluded by the so called development in the west, let us remove Lagos state and see what is left of yoruba land, I wonder if you have bothered to check the latest world bank ranking on the standard of living in the six geo political zones in the country. Wise up and stop your self delusion. Nigeria needs to be restructured or risk disintegration

[u-i ohcana] - This is Fashola value in life of every Nigerians, souls for the devil.
After Nigerian Custom stole our motorcycles 2005, the remaining ones they had released to us were packed in our industrial warehouse. For whichever reason, why must Lagos State Governor Fashola and his institution take away all motorcycles, all outboard marine engines and other assorted goods without any notice to us?
He refused to reply to our letter dated 20 May 2013 to recover the goods or money. He already discovered wrong was written all over them and chose status quo leading to our starvation in Lagos State. And our 3 children are completely out of school in 20013.
[psmlif eizog] - like i said we welcome our people back, Biafra will be restored, Fashola or Fashion shall queue for visa to enter Biafra
[edniroya awera] - If dat apology isn't enough den do d needful!

[ahcokown eizogihc] - His apology is not accepted nd can never be for their information apc nd ngige wil never rule us in our states
[olleb urisadum] - You mghty even need to worry much further, i have already uncovered their coup plots.

FANS of the foodie movie "The Hundred-Foot Journey" left the theater knowing that there's more ways to prepare fowl than roasting or frying and there are more kinds of birds to cook than chicken, turkey, ducks and the odd dove. With its focus on fabulous French haute cuisine, the movie makes a viewer wish the popcorn were a bit more sauced up.
Far from the picturesque French countryside is America's Mojave Desert, where a high-tech solar power plant has been cooking birds by the thousands. Literally.
BrightSource Energy's plant generates heat to a point that birds passing over are ignited. Plant workers refer to the unfortunate birds as "streamers," supposedly for the smoke plume they create when falling from the sky.
Solar power thus joins another favorite (wind) of the environmental community in causing havoc to our avian friends. This is a spicy pickle for the wealthy lovers of alternative energy who also enjoy pigeon served with foie gras and truffles, a dish featured in "The Hundred-Foot Journey."
The Associated Press reports that the $2.2 billion solar plant, which opened in February, is under scrutiny from federal wildlife investigators. BrightSource doesn't have the typical array of solar panels. Instead, it uses more than 300,000 garage door-sized mirrors that reflect solar rays, beaming the heat to towering boilers that make steam without fossil fuel.
These pressure cookers turn turbines that generate electricity, some of which is used to fire up ovens to roast turkeys.
As with the giant wind turbines, the desert power plant will kill as many as 25,000 birds a year — and in a most gruesome fashion. AP reported that wildlife officials view such "power towers" as a "mega-trap" for wildlife. The bright light attracts bugs, which attract birds, which die, unloved and uneaten.
So we're beginning to learn that green, healthy alternatives to fossil fuels may indeed be green but certainly not healthy for all concerned. Wind turbines kill birds as well; sometimes the dead birds are among the most noble of avian species — eagles and other raptors.

AEL Button and Recomposition on the nex 5R
Nov 11, 2013
I wish to verify how I operate the situation properly.
If I have high range of colors and my subject isnt correctly exposed, I can focus on it / zoom on it and press the AEL button, to lock exposure. so far, correct?
Now, What if I want to adjust focus, sometimes the DMF is annoying as Im not sure if I did better focusing that the camera, so I just want to magnify to peek. But when it magnifies it already changed focus a bit. Is it the only way?
Also, When using the Manual focus, How can I focus to infinity? many places I read on photography says to do so, but assuming I have a very far away subject / landscape / skies and I want to make it sharp. How? Its a 16-50 OSS lens, no focus ring.

Nectar of life: U.S. agriculture cannot thrive without the honeybee
U.S. agriculture cannot thrive without the honeybee
Honeybees are more important than you think. One-third of all food consumed in the United States is pollinated by honeybees, and hundreds of plants and flowers rely on the tiny honeybee for pollination, too. The value of those crops is estimated at $15 billion annually.

Blueberry Jam
Yield: 10 half pints
Don't double the recipe. It will not work.
- 4 pints fresh blueberries
- Zest and juice of 2 lemons
- 7 cups sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon butter, to reduce foaming (optional)
- 2 pouches liquid fruit pectin (6 ounces total)
Put half the blueberries in an enamel or stainless cooking pot and crush the berries, making juice. Stir in the remaining berries, lemon zest and lemon juice. Add the sugar and butter, if desired, and bring to a full rolling boil. Pay careful attention to the pot. It will boil over in a heartbeat.
While the berries are boiling, quickly add the fruit pectin and stir for exactly one minute. Remove from heat and put in sterilized jars, following canning directions.
Note: Don't double the recipe. It will not work.

It was a reactionary hit that went bad. There was no premeditated intent to injure. It was too bad Zednik got hurt. The hit was nowhere near as bad as you make it out to be. I've never seen this hit cited as an example of the kind the league is trying to get rid of.
