In December of 2019 I had the opportunity to travel to a city named Wollongong just north of Sydney, Australia. Upon arriving in Australia the first thing I noticed besides the automobile and road engineering, was the details of the building terrain. Wollongong, Australia is a city built around a steel and aluminum industrial plant called Blue Scope Steel and many commercial and residential buildings in the area are constructed out of the materials produced from the plant. Very simple construction methods are used in newer home designs while the older construction styles still maintain the classic materials such brown brick and detailed stucco, as you can see in the photo above and photos following.
Taking the past content from college, sketch books and several projects including my old studio I managed to put together a 12” X 12” 30 page book(s) comparing biology to the use of architectural applications where all forms of objects coexists with an ecosystem, that is biology. I have made these books in the past and feel this print is leading in a direction to create more dynamic versions in the future. The goal is to write a least one 30 page book per year, and eventually steer in a more illustrative direction while including all past experience through academic and non-academic training while seeking out collaborators of all sorts.
