The Borders of Pangea

So I really hope I'm doing this right!

While looking through our list of keywords, I realized how many interconnections I could make in my visualization. There was a whole lot to think about.

Anthropocentric (hira):

    I wish there was a word for building centric. I looked for a little while online and couldn't find a word for it, but I feel like that is what I was trying to do in this rearrangement- put buildings at the center of our attention and see how that plays out in human interactions. As the daughter of two architects, I was raised to believe good design is king. I wish there was a way to see beautiful human design combined with natural order at the top of our heirarchy. 

Community (Nan):

   I am curious how our community would change if our campus was actually shaped like this. I think that's the true questions I'm trying to ask by reshaping our campus like this: How does our environment effect our lifestyle? And more specifically, would out campus act more like a city if the buildings were all this close together?

Adaption (hira):

   How do we change and develop according to our environments? How would we adapt if the entire world was still Pangea? How would this entire campus transform if all the buildings interlocked?

See (eetong):

   I was particularly drawn to this deifnition given from the OED: To behold (visual objects) in imagination. I think this is exactly what I was trying to do by physically creating a different potential layout of our campus. I wanted to experiment with what it would look like. I often have trouble visualizing something until I enact it.

Campus (me):

  I can easily see how my mind works sometimes. I like the idea of configuring a campus space in near impossible ways.

know, play, pattern (froggies 305)

I feel like all these words sum up the entirely to my vizualization. I wanted to know, so I played with the campus design as if it was lincoln logs. I wanted to play so I could find a new pattern of the campus. I wish I could see this pattern enacted in reality so I could see what patterns humans would develop around it.
