Energetic Systems
Assignment 1.4
Assigned: Tuesday, March 16
Due: Thursday, March 18
Continue to refine modeling and visualization for energy-based research into natural systems. Consider the 5-10 elements (see: layers) which comprise the system you are studying, and name them as succinctly/clearly as possible.
Review readings on Christopher Alexander’s “A Pattern Language” (attached below). Consider his understanding of syntax, and the construction of systems.
Using Alexander’s guideline (below), select 5-10 ten pattern elements in the order from macro level to micro level. Create a “correlation matrix” between these urban pattern elements, and the layers of your research into natural energy systems. Be as direct and visual as possible: for example, what is your first layer of information in research, and what urban system is its corollary? What are the criteria by which they can be correlated? Process sketches, images, etc should be documented along with a final correlation matrix on your course website.
