INDIVIDUALMALISM : est. 2008

I have been developing a personal movement; a belief in my work. Individualmalism is the combination of "formalism" + "individual."  It is the further evolution of the concept of finding beauty in imperfection- an honestly in construction, production + expression. The Arts + Crafts movement had honesty in materials + construction- from which was developed a stylistic belief, + a visual language. After this movement, + the advent of the Industrial Revolution, came modernism. The construction of expression became more manufactured, cleaner, simplistic. What I have embraced is the marriage of these two movements- one in which there is an honestly in materials + construction- where the human imprint is always read in its presentation while retaining the clean lines + beliefs of modernism. Basically, I am a purist- one who finds the evidence of humanity in the elevated expression of people to be the most beautiful. Less is more - as long as it exhibits fingerprints in its fabrication and/or execution.

DESIGN THEOREM _ est. 2006

This is a theorem that I developed for my thesis proposal at SCIARC. It encompasses architecture, form, fashion, design and the mathematical principals of Pythagorean Theorem. I have been asked if I think that all architecture should embody such a belief... + I say no. Not all theories apply to all works or thoughts.

WHAT IS A WALL?_est 2005

Is the use or name of a surface/plane defined by its material? its position on a plane within X, Y, Z? height off finished floor? use?  Then I challenge the common use of these definitions + uses. By the deformation of a single plane, one could re-define common notions. Imagine a structure where floor becomes wall, wall becomes seating,...incline....table....etc
