Reviw of the design process through out the semester
I spend over half of the semester to study and explore randomenss. But what am I really doing ?
This question ran up when Pia asked me in the theory seminar class and I am speechless. This is simple and straight forward that because I talked about Randomenss in the very beginning in the class and Paul encouraged me to do the research on it for my major project.
But after I went that far to this extent I suddenly realized that I don't know why and what I am doing? So I urged myself to sit down and think about for what I am doing in this semester.
First thing for me to think about is what is randomness, refer back to the definition for randomness, I can answer this within one second that this mean non purpose, and non defined, so when we come up with random process, it means that this is a non purpose process and non defined process.
By this non defined and non purpose act of move, secondly, I put myself in the experimental stage, and this is the trap for me, I spent the whole semester to test out what is the 'APPLICATION OF RANDOMNESS', without thinking deep enough of what Randomness is, I start to do the experiment blindly, using the simple script from Rhinoceros to generate the random line, I did a couple of experiemnts and see how randomness can be applied completely and totally in the form making exercise.
And then again I test it out in different step like halfly, or only a bit of random is happened in the tower.
At that point I think I am lost and completely obssesed in making the application of randomenss and forget about the whole lot of research that I did in the very beginning of the semester.
The word stochastic come to my mind and crptography and encrpytion as well. Therefore I will start to redirect my resaerch in different focus, Pia and I claimed this is the 'change', I think the change here is not about doing different topic but change in the direction, that maybe this will be interesting for the research of instead of sitting in front of the computer to generate the random and let it opens up the chance for me to design something maybe this is good for me to take part actively and do something which is looks like random but it is actually not. To grap the idea of encryption, the next step for me will be, I will generate something which looks like nonsense and meaningless when you look at it but it actually does mean something if you can break the code.
This cryptography idea let me go through one more level is that what can it leads the design of architecture when we design the building looks like meaningless but it actually has the meaning, this means that the building have the natural immunity for terriost attack or vice versa. I hope this can lead me through a new start in my research.
