A planet of species that dictates the life of a living organism – earth. The health of the planet is dependent upon its inhabitants. Much like the health of an individual is dependent upon the behavior of the cells within the body. <img src="http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq87/cheezispro/cheez3.jpg"> <img

http://cargocollective.com/viirj/following/viirj/SOCIAL-RESEARCH Wed, 02 Mar 2011 18:47:21 +0000 Viirj 953930 COLLECTING PEOPLE Often times, the physical appearances of people lead us to pre-judge the quality of their character. This project explores assumptions and stereotypes while examining how we absorb information and impressions. As observers, we are constantly, often unconsciously making conclusions, creating stories, and building realities about others, which may not always be true. Collective people contrasts the differences of pre- and post- impressions of individuals. As I curiously interact with people from different walks of life, I uncover stories that unite the human spirit. http://cargocollective.com/viirj/TENSEGRITY-STRUCTURES http://cargocollective.com/viirj/following/viirj/TENSEGRITY-STRUCTURES Wed, 19 Jan 2011 06:27:27 +0000 Viirj 954064 COMPRESSION : TENSION :: NATURE : MANKIND They're expecting X but you give them Y. The general walkthrough of a truss steel bridge is expected to be a straight walk with parallel planes of truss – triangular supports that guide you down the path. Unexpectedly at mid path You are curiously faced with a decision. Another option presented to you, a choice given Should you follow your curiousity you will continue on the diamond metal ground and become confronted by a path downwards. Three four five steps down you begin to acknowledge that the familiar trusses along your path is gradually becoming extended Or are they seemingly taller because you have gone down a few levels? Suddenly a vast and extraordinary view is in front of you At this moment is when it becomes apparent that you are standing at the center point in between two forces that dominate the issues of modern day development: The natural and the manmade. The steel bridge and the reminants of the LA river habitat. The sounds of trafficking from freeways and the just as aggressive sound of falling water. The chirps from bird conversations and honking vehicles from human anxiety. A dispute between one’s dominance over another. The capacity and tension of one’s endurance over another. A dance between very different scales and time perceptions in two worlds living inside of one los angeles. It’s a relationship that Humans feel guilty and morally responsible for. Yet nature manages to seep into the cracks of concrete and unoccupied spaces. Areas where man neglect to maintain or fail to domesticate. Another flight of stairs await for you to travel downwards It becomes apparent to you that the steel trusses were indeed growing taller and larger To the point where it managed to grow and extend into a tensile structure – and then a shelter Each supporting one another through its forces of tension and compression – much like systems in nature, humanity and the will to survive amongst all Life forms. As you enter the structure, the shelter interacts with you through its many long shadows – some hiding as you walk near – others touching and projecting onto you. At the center of the shelter is a more intimate private space with thicker and multiplied steel rod tensiles. The trianglular shapes created by the structure support the geometry of your bicycle. A small vector diagram suggests that you hang your bicycle onto the structure – as if you’re helping to create a bicycle installation. “The structure can probably support about 30 bicycles if hung,” you think to yourself. You are comforted by a lowered ceiling, an opening protected by trusses and shadowed by the bottom of the Sunnynook bridge. Here you rest, contemplate, meditate, and reflect upon your history and forecast the possibilities of the future. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/65964/954064/DSC01921.JPG" border="0" width="670" height="502" width_o="2048" height_o="1536" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/65964/954064/DSC01921_o.JPG" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/65964/954064/DSC01894.JPG" border="0" width="670" height="502" width_o="2048" height_o="1536" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/65964/954064/DSC01894_o.JPG" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/65964/954064/DSC01906.JPG" border="0" width="670" height="502" width_o="2048" height_o="1536" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/65964/954064/DSC01906_o.JPG" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/65964/954064/DSC01914.JPG" border="0" width="670" height="502" width_o="2048" height_o="1536" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/65964/954064/DSC01914_o.JPG" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/65964/954064/DSC01999.JPG" border="0" width="670" height="502" width_o="2048" height_o="1536" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/65964/954064/DSC01999_o.JPG" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/65964/954064/DSC01872.JPG" border="0" width="670" height="502" width_o="2048" height_o="1536" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/65964/954064/DSC01872_o.JPG" align="left" /> Click to view project: <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/65964/954064/Final board LAYOUT_4000px.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="501" width_o="2048" height_o="1534" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/65964/954064/Final board LAYOUT_4000px_o.jpg" align="left" /> http://cargocollective.com/viirj/BREAKING-BARRIERS http://cargocollective.com/viirj/following/viirj/BREAKING-BARRIERS Wed, 19 Jan 2011 05:13:07 +0000 Viirj 953928 Site Location 1060 S.
