  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...

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.

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 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...
