Review of the Theory Class

This is a very good and energetic theory class today. First of all thanks Pia and Ross, for they showed me that I am stucking in the same place or staying in the same circle for I don't really know about that. Ross simply fold of paper made me understand that I am on the monoline of thinking that I am thinking and doing of what I am want but not doing the stuff that people understand my work.

Pia pin point out my problem is I am doing the same thing with different package but the content is still the same.

So I would like to rephrase my presentation for tomorrow studio class.

1) The paper model is about using the regular shaped paper strip to building up a 'meaningless' paper sculpture. I am actively participating in the step of designing this to build up the meaningless paper sculpture. Here I would appreciate the word of meaningless because Meaningless does not mean it shows nothing, the meaningless sculpture show off some spatial quality and this meaningless actually become the chance.

So in this experiement, to review, I would like to say what I have done is I actively doing the exercise to try to build up a paper model which looks like meaningless. But through out the process I found out that I am actually making of fluid flow space, which is the by product of the exercise.

I am thinking of this is similar to the cryptography idea, which is people actively encrypt the message into the way which looks like meaningless, so they try to make the encrypted message either looks like a reading which is completely not related to the secret message or they make the encrypted message looks like randomly arranged alphabat, like outcome of people who practice how to type.

I think I have found the thing that I want to explore for the final project which is can we design the thing which formally or programmatically looks like meaningless or randomly arranged but it actually does give us a highly articulated and meaningful outcome ? at the end.

So the question is actually jumped from what is the relationship between randomness and architecture or the application of randomness in architecture and become the above one.
