Dialogue

AN ARCHISPEAK WORD
I was given the task to present the word “Dialogue” in an Architectural context. It’s an Archispeak word that Architects use as a guideline for Architectural jargon. This is an interesting phenomena found in architecture worth discussing.
The word is quiet descriptive in itself, not one of those in depth terms to ponder on, it’s one of a few shallow Archispeak words that open a different understanding of observing architecture. Whenever given an assignment to elaborate something, I always see it as an opportunity to explore a different complexity in it that has been developed to what it is.
We can see dialogue in any exchange of information between two or more entities. This could be in a form of relation or contradiction similar to a literal dialogue between two or more people. This thought of distinguishing dialogue in design makes sense when trying to connect and create a conversation between ideas.Please find attached my presentation, enjoy!

Hello World!

Welcome to my Head
Greetings bloggers, I’ve always wondered how it would feel like to be one of these writers that sit at coffee shops on their laptops. I wouldn’t think I’m the “book worm” type of person with “Writer tendencies” but I wouldn’t be surprised if developed that interest through blogging cause these things happen. At the moment I do however enjoy many forms of narrating explorations and presenting those in context that can be understood.
I study Architecture at the University of Johannesburg which has really thought me how to be open minded in design, art, exploring and interpreting my surroundings. This has resulted me in having a lot of input and personal opinion in things I find interest in that I keep to myself. I’m hoping to vent these thoughts and share some interests to learn from my bloggers, I mean we don’t all just know things from personal thought. I’m pretty random so we can expect topics ranging at Architecture, Design, Leisure, Social, lifestyle and sometimes even personal. Let me know whenever I spark a thought of relation or criticism in my posts and let’s talk!
