Toyo Ito in summary takes an ethereal almost nebulous approach to architecture.
He states that formality is not a boon to architecture but the unstable and
more chaotic side of architecture is what truly creates unique spaces.<br />
This chaos is not arbitrary but is the effects of controlled movements. Waves
caused by the ideas of the architect.<br />
Toyo Ito also purports that there is no perfect response to a context because
the site may change at any time .An architect can only seek to stir the waters
of the city to create a vortex. A unique area in the water where forces meet.</span><!--EndFragment-->

Here we can see a third approach to architecture and living.
This approach is a social one where both Fathy and Boulding make notice of the
social roles of the architect and even the world at large.<br />
<br />
Social reform is something that both writers say needs to be done before any
real improvements in the way we <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>live can
be made. Additionally both writers realize that this is no easy task. <br />
<br />
First we see Fathy looking at the role of the architect being wider than just the
creation of a single final product that must meet the requirements of building
codes and standards. He shows how the actions of the architect have a much
wider effect on the ethos of a country.<br />
Consequently he charges architects not only as builders but agents of social change.
If this challenge is not accepted Fathy predicts a death in the overall
cultural spirit of his home country.<br />
<br />
Boulding looks at the social problems of the world in a much greater scope. He
views the entire earth as a space ship. As a result the amount of social reform
that would have to occur to realize this social model would be vastly different
from what people are used to. However it is this reform that Boulding says is required
if the Earth and humankind are to be able to continue their existence.<br />
<br />
This journey as Boulding puts it is the same wide-angle lens that Fathy uses to
view his world<o:p></o:p></div>

Kahn and Ito both have <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>metaphysical approach
to the issue of spaces and architecture.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The overall idea they are presenting is that architecture is a
composition of almost chaotic beauty. The issue of creating space is not according
to tenets passed down by history. <br />
<br />
A space must be based on its context. This context is what informs Ito that the
space known as the ‘tent’ is formed because of its context, the cherry blossom tree.
It is also this context that is seen when Kahn states that the nature of space
reflects what it, the creation, wants to be.<br />
<br />
Both writers’ logics move in a step-by-step fashion. For Ito this is a series
of events, one forming the other. Kahn has a explanation that more resembles an
evolution of a single thing. However both writers are saying the same thing
‘Space grows out of its context’<br />
<br />
Toyo Ito's eastern upbringing gives him a different outlook on life from many
westerners as a result many of my colleagues had difficulty in truly
understanding what Ito had to say.<br />
<br />
Both writers view architecture in a metaphorical sense. Perhaps intangibility
is possibly been the ‘beauty’ which builders of times gone by have sought
after.<br />

This is not true. Introverts just don’t talk unless they have something to say. They hate small talk. Get an introvert talking about something they are interested in, and they won’t shut up for days.</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 11px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 8px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 11px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Myth #2 – Introverts are shy.</strong><br />
Shyness has nothing to do with being an Introvert. Introverts are not necessarily afraid of people. What they need is a reason to interact. They don’t interact for the sake of interacting. If you want to talk to an Introvert, just start talking. Don’t worry about being polite.</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 11px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 8px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 11px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Myth #3 – Introverts are rude</strong>.<br />
Introverts often don’t see a reason for beating around the bush with social pleasantries. They want everyone to just be real and honest. Unfortunately, this is not acceptable in most settings, so Introverts can feel a lot of pressure to fit in, which they find exhausting.</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 11px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 8px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 11px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Myth #4 – Introverts don’t like people</strong>.<br />
On the contrary, Introverts intensely value the few friends they have. They can count their close friends on one hand. If you are lucky enough for an introvert to consider you a friend, you probably have a loyal ally for life. Once you have earned their respect as being a person of substance, you’re in.</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 11px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 8px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 11px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Myth #5 – Introverts don’t like to go out in public</strong>.<br />
Nonsense. Introverts just don’t like to go out in public FOR AS LONG. They also like to avoid the complications that are involved in public activities. They take in data and experiences very quickly, and as a result, don’t need to be there for long to “get it.” They’re ready to go home, recharge, and process it all. In fact, recharging is absolutely crucial for Introverts.</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 11px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 8px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 11px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Myth #6 – Introverts always want to be alone</strong>.<br />
Introverts are perfectly comfortable with their own thoughts. They think a lot. They daydream. They like to have problems to work on, puzzles to solve. But they can also get incredibly lonely if they don’t have anyone to share their discoveries with. They crave an authentic and sincere connection with ONE PERSON at a time.</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 11px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 8px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 11px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Myth #7 – Introverts are weird.</strong><br />
Introverts are often individualists. They don’t follow the crowd. They’d prefer to be valued for their novel ways of living. They think for themselves and because of that, they often challenge the norm. They don’t make most decisions based on what is popular or trendy.</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 11px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 8px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 11px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Myth #8 – Introverts are aloof nerds</strong>.<br />
Introverts are people who primarily look inward, paying close attention to their thoughts and emotions. It’s not that they are incapable of paying attention to what is going on around them, it’s just that their inner world is much more stimulating and rewarding to them.</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 11px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 8px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 11px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Myth #9 – Introverts don’t know how to relax and have fun</strong>.<br />
Introverts typically relax at home or in nature, not in busy public places. Introverts are not thrill seekers and adrenaline junkies. If there is too much talking and noise going on, they shut down. Their brains are too sensitive to the neurotransmitter called Dopamine. Introverts and Extroverts have different dominant neuro-pathways.

This book is wonderful for both freshmen architecture students and even seasoned designers.It offers a wholistic introduction to the elements of architecture and the modifiers of the experience of an architectural space such as colour, vision , scale and other basic variables of any architectural composition.<br />
<br />
Even to the seasoned deisgner.One may find new insights as you read this concise and well written book again.You never know what new perspectives may spring up in the wisened mind.<br />

Two good books that offer a introduction in the complex yet ever neccesary facet of building known as structure.An architect must not only have an idea of aesthetics but must also design with some sense of rationality as to stave off likely mortal combat between the engineer and you the designer.<br />
<br />
This should be a preparation for design structures classes as it lays out the core principles of structure in an easy format with all the necessary diagrams and real life examples.<br />

Rockets . Firecrackers [ clappers in Jamaica ] and all the fireworks you can think of in one day.<br />
Pretty lights and Excitement?<br />
<br />
Not for me or my family. American 'clappers' are a lot louder than the Jamaican ones and despite knowing that fireworks were going to be lit, Seeing the lights for half an hour and generally accepting that this would be going on all night...<br />
<br />
Every time the fireworks went off it was hard not to jump.I especially disliked them geting lit behind me.<br />
Senses pricked at each explosion .<br />
Its a sad reality.How despite knowing one is in a safe environment reflex actions take precedent.This is the degree to which crime affects our citizens. I've never seen a gun in the hands of anyone other than law enforcers, I dont live in a unsafe area.I dont hear gunfire on a regular basis.Imagine a resident of the site of recent political unrest, Tivoli gardens. Or any other oppressed area for that matter?<br />
<br />
I wonder what sounds, colours and smells that trigger negative feelings in people of other nationalities?<br />

<br />
<br />
I'm really impressed with what they have done with the Norman Manley International Airport in Jamaica.Its a heven of trusses, transparent panels and the controversial hinge joint. Now irregardless of if you hate hinge joints or not the NMIA has been redesigned and refurbished to a point that puts it in the realm of international standard airport and I've seen quite a few.Not only in design. The circulation is simple and well marked out.The seating is comfortable and spacious.<br />
<br />

I only saw one thing wrong. Guess what. Guess.<br />
A sign.One sign had some bad typography. Sorry its a bit of an obsession.<br />
<br />
Now today I learnt that if you sketch in public , people will talk to you. Be prepared to answer questions and for people to ask you what your doing.<br />
