thesis thinking 01

Posted in Arch.Thesis by charliebyrd on December 30, 2008

I have two ideas for thesis so far. Is it worth describing them in writing? I feel like I’m standing in my bathing suit in front of a cool body of water, unwilling to jump. Will it really make a difference if my foot is in the water? 

writing can’t hurt.

chronologically, here they are:

a drawing center in williamsburg,brooklyn.

a drug and alcohol rehab, somewhere along the am-track Boston/NY line, walking distance from the train station. On the water maybe.  

I’d like to have a third idea.  I’ll probably be asked to come up one.

Thinking of what these two ideas have in common points to what I’m interested in. Something about the body, habits and rituals, balance and how architecture can play a part in how we see ourselves, as individuals (architecture and how we see ourselves as a society is a whole other story) I very much want to concentrate on the individual’s experience and give myself the opportunity to work on a small scale. 

That’s all. I think that’s a big toe in the water. maybe.
