a violent lightness

Clint,

Control.

while you have a great control over the programming and techniques the cells lack a control when it comes to your architectural ambition. Create a clear statement of your ambitions so that each cell and its behavior can quickly make its final round of mutation and differentiations into tectonic systems. The systems must quickly become architecture, with a (clear) logic of structure, enclosure, inhabitation, circulation, affect, space. Examine the work from the midterm, analyze the qualities of the different systems so that each can find a specific role within your ambitions for the project.

I think it is important for your project to work with a relationship between the elegant and the dirty. earlier cells has a simple elegance to their form and hehavior that has gotten lost in a mess of similarity. Allowing both qualities to exist together in dialog will make for a stronger architectural project. Each system then provides a medium for testing the ability and parameters for success of each other system.

It is imperative that you define scale and mass within the next week. reintroduce the structural cell into the system. it must retain qualities of structure and rigidity.
