Happy St-Valentine's Day

Today will be a work and review day to continue on with the models. We need to take some pictures and start combining them together.

I hope you all understand that the work is starting to get more intellectual and content rich in these next assignments.
I think you do because ALL the questions you all are bringing up about the relationship between the forms and objects of your room and the movement that occurs in it are right on. Time, especially as a part of movement, is as important a subject in today's architecture as "timelessness" was in the architecture of 100 years ago. We build things in time as much as we do with bricks and mortar.

In his book Matter and Memory, Henri Bergson presents a radical understanding of what movement is and what relationships can be drawn between movement and matter. Bergson was very much affected by the collapsed movement in the time-motion photographies of E.J. Marey and Edward Muybridge. He also was impacted by a contemporary who was writing about the relationship between space and time, Albert Einstein. For Bergson there are two ways to measure or quantify movement:
1. in the relative terms of a geometer (things measured according to something beyond the action).
2. in the real terms of a physicist (things measured according to conditions internal to the event or action).

Imagine how these guys relate space and movement.
