Ololade Tolu Owolabi  Arch 4822 Infrastructural space Reflection Spring 2021 For my reflection on the readings of infrastructural space, there were a lot of different bits and pieces that came to a whole for it to be properly understood but there were also a lot of unanswered questions that could have been taken in different directions based on the opinion of who was answering. Disposition was defined in so many ways but the one that stuck with me was that it is an unfolding relationship between potentials with the example of a  ball at the top of an inclined plane possesses a disposition because even though the ball is not presently rolling down the plane we all know that it is capable of rolling down the plane. This is also the case when it comes to infrastructure spaces when mixed with active forms.  According to the reading, active forms are markers of disposition which translates to me as there would be no disposition without active forms. Active forms are made up ...

  Ololade T Owolabi  Theory 2  Assignment 6 Architecture and labor assignment Prof Aptekar  Spring 2021  TED TALK by Dean Peggy Deamer at TEDX CALARTS In listening to the Ted talk I have to say I couldn’t help but relate to most of what was said which caught my interest. Firstly the statement made of Architecture is not a career it is a calling my response to that is why can’t it be both. There are many majors out there that are referred to as both a calling and a career just because you enjoy doing something and devoting all your time and resources to it does not mean that you shouldn’t get paid for it. Architects make things that matter to the world but that does not mean that architects are giving the appreciation that’s deserved. In thinking about the question of how architects got in that situation I have to say there is enough blame to go around but it was accepted by architects a long time ago to be standard which makes it difficult to change now. It was ...

  Ololade T Owolabi  Theory 2  Assignment 3 Deconstructivism  Prof Aptekar  Spring 2021    Questions to consider while reading these texts. Is Deconstructivist architecture relationship to Russian Constructivism?  Yes, there is a strong relationship between Deconstructivist architecture and Russian Constructivism. In Deconstructivist architecture does “form follows function”?  No function follows deformation.     Is this type of architecture a purely formal exercise with little social significance and ambiguous meaning? Does a deconstructivist architect successfully comment on unbridled consumer culture and Suburban and Public Space? Think back to your reading of Derrida ’ (theory I) is the ‘metaphysics of presence’ expressed in this architecture?   Keywords/ Concepts  Manhattanism:- Manhattan as the product of an unformulated theory, whose program - to exist in a world totally fabricated by man, i.e., to live inside fanta...

  Ololade T Owolabi  Theory 2  Assignment 2 Illuminations Prof Aptekar  Spring 2021   Questions to consider while reading these texts. Is this a “user-friendly” guide to building or architecture?  Yes.   What are the goals of the patterns? The goals of the patterns to essentially create a language in the forms of our physical environments through arrangements of spaces while giving the user of the pattern the freedom to choose whatever elements that provide a solution to an existing unresolved problem. The pattern language provides elements for the building and planning.    If you follow these patterns how would your designs change? If I were to follow these patterns I would see a tremendous change in my planning and building designs. I would also be more environmentally conscious and the materials that have a big impact on me. What kinds of architecture can these patterns be applied to? In the reading, it was said to be adaptable to all kin...
