This blog will be the virtual memory theater for the program. Each student is asked to produce a series of short responses that will form their own personal zibaldone. The term zibaldone refers to the small notebooks used to write long passages that could be attributed to their roles by players in the commedia dell’Art We will use the modern zibaldone to document our travels through the semester.

Zibaldone 9
When examining the Harvard building along Huntington Ave. the one face of the building looks like a 2 dimensional wall almost as if there isn't any building there. When you continue to walk you realize that it isn't just a wall, however the a very acute corner condition of the building. Although visually from the outside this building implies a feeling that the building is thin or flat, on the inside it creates an unrealistic space. Similar to when you try to make grass grow in between two sidewalks at an acute angel, the corner in this building is creating a dead space. People can't inhabit the space therefore making this condition merely visual and not practical.

Perhaps more conceptual as well?
