Why fly? Simple. I'm not happy unless there's some room between me and the ground....................
This project is for a new residence hall and learning community for Drexel University, on a site located at 34th and Lancaster Avenue. For my proposal, I sought to bring a sculptural, iconic building to this high traffic site. The site also features a stunning view of the center city Philadelphia skyline. To take advantage of this, I stacked each floors common room along this view, creating a semi regular glass facade, punctuated by red cubes which serve as bookcases for the common rooms. This wing of the building houses the elevator, one set of fire stairs and restrooms.
Building off this central core, I began to experiment with different floor plans for each residential floor. My overall goal was to express each individual residential unit on the exterior. Common rooms are glass boxes with wooden slats, which provide sun protection while maintaining excellent views of the city. Bedrooms have a different exterior condition. Units are cantilevered and stacked to create exterior terraces and to play on solids and voids.
My main inspiration for this project was Habitat 67, the iconic housing development designed by Moshe Safdie in the late 1960s.
The Saharawi people have a strong culture which distinguishes them amongst the Arab tribes. They are concerned that Morocco are working to erase the Saharawi cultural identity so that the rest of the world sees them as Moroccan. Saharawis are proud of their cultural heritage which is transmitted though poetry and storytelling. They do not wish to become a non-people stripped of their cultural identity and abandoned in the Algerian desert.
For my conceptual self-portrait, I wanted to portray something that really represents me. The concept I decided on was to show that no matter how annoying these people can be, they still mean the world to me. In my picture, you can see the 7 people I love the most doing very outrageous and annoying things to me. You can also see the look of annoyance on my face. But even with how annoying these people can get, I still love them with all of my heart and I need them in my own little universe.
I was able to portray this by a lot of editing in Photoshop. First of all I found a picture of a galaxy and cropped it to become an 8x10 and changed the resolution to be higher. I then took all of the pictures of me and my loved ones and magnetic lasso them out of their original picture and put it into the galaxy. The pictures of the people I love the most I resized and positioned them so they fit in my picture proportionately. For some of the pictures, like the one of my sister hanging from my hair, I had to use the clone stamp tool to get it to look more realistic.
Rompe con el ciclo. Escoge ser libre. No es fácil romper las ataduras, pero hay poder en sus determinación. Ya no hay miedo, porque empieza un camino hacia la libertad…
The Holy Ghost Panel of Barrier Canyon.
The main figure may have been painted by blowing the
pigment onto the rock. This figure has what appear to be
antennae or horns on its head. Note the incised lines on its torso, which is common for many of the figures at this site. The "attendants" and alter show abrasion from possibly being pecked after having been created. Whether the original artist(s) or later inhabitants did this we not known.
