Architectural Interiors : Module 5

 

A piece of domestic architecture that really fascinates me is how the City Of Palms is set up. This is a baseball and softball stadium for the FSW softball and baseball team. It was originally the Red Sox spring training facility but FSW took over in 2014. This building can seat up to 8,000 people. The City of Palms building itself has multiple rooms includes press boxes and club seating. the architecture is shaped in a "U" form because it outlines the baseball field that sits in the middle of the building. Surrounded by palm trees and gates, the facility stands three stories tall. The way the rooms are divided up is there are two parts on the inside of the building. One on the outside which is what you see above, and then the inside section where the fans sit, press boxes, and others. In between these two sections of the building is a pathway with three entryways to the stands, concession stands, and public restrooms. I think it is designed very organized and convenient for fans. It was a very open and welcoming building with lots of entry gates and arches with different directions on it so it is hard to get lost. 

A space I inhabit would be LightHouse Commons, also known as the dorms of Florida Southwestern. My dorm is where I spend most of my time when I am not at practice at the City of Palms. I would compare the architecture as similar because of the "U" shape of the building and the piece in the middle which is our courtyard. The difference is that I actually live in the dorms with my teammates. I spend a lot of my time at each architectural structure that I really enjoy them both.

Drive to the Beach : Plotting

Image
 https://www.hdwallpapers.in/cool_beach-wallpapers.html The drive to Fort Myers Beach is an episode that I have every weekend if we do not have practice or games. The drive is an experience itself to go along with the adventures we end up having at the beach.  I gather up my willing teammates on our days off and ask them if they want to go to the beach. Most of them turn down this offer but a few think it's a good idea and come along. We pack up our beach essentials which include a chair, a cooler, sunblock, and a speaker of course! We load up the Jeep and off we go fifteen minutes down the road. The beach is about five miles from the dorms, where we live, so it is nice to be a driving distance away from the beach. Right before you approach the bridge we hit traffic. What is Florida without traffic, it would not be Florida. A quick green light flips to red and I slam on my breaks. I hear laughs from my teammates and I look over and she dumped her water bottle all in the floorboard

Hamlet: Act 1- Scene 5

Image
 I chose to analyze act 1, scene 5 in the famous play 'Hamlet.' In this part of the play, Hamlet has a word with his ghostly father figure. In this conversation, the ghost told him that his father died because his brother had poisoned him through his ear while he was napping. Of course, Hamlet is pretty surprised and upset because his mother had re-married, in less than a month of her husband being dead, to his brother Claudias. This ghost had also put in Hamlet's knowledge that Claudius and his mother were together before the King passed away. A request from the fatherly ghost is that Hamlet punishes this father's murder by killing him. In my opinion, Hamlet has every right to be upset and full of anger with his mother and his new step-father because of the two incidents. But do I think that it should lead to murder? No, because you just fighting fire with fire. I think Hamlet should have fought him and then forgave him because that is how guys work. Do I think what Cl

Not seen on TV

Image
  For this assignment, I chose the three transitions by Peter Campus. This video art has very detailed ways of transitioning in videos. What is going on in this video is he has these different images of himself and slowly begins to destroy each one into another image of himself. In the first transition, his back is facing the camera but you see a tear almost like paper and then the hand is seen. This hand is his hand and he is slowly coming through his back. At first, I thought it was just like a huge picture of this guy but he began to move while the hand way tearing his like a piece of paper. As the guy is ripping through, the other guy is going through the other side, as if he was going through the rip the guy had made. In the second transition, the man is wiping on some type of green screen cream that is creating a different image that appears underneath him. In the last transition, the man has a mirror or possibly a photo of himself and lights it on fire. I believe it is supposed
