three down

Four to go. I find that having finals after winter break really seems to kill my ability to ever completely relax because no matter what I know I should be studying or writing or something other than sleep and eat.

In any case, this is what I made in the span of about 24 hours.

nostalgia

Baby RB, originally uploaded by neutralSurface.

used my Dad's new scanner to digitize and preserve hundreds of photos, negatives, and slides. The whole process takes some time, but sure threw me back.

Turns out as much as I like the ease and convenience of digital photos, they will never rival their film counterparts. I'll be scanning and uploading more soon.

comic bookin'

Had tons of fun today making a short comic book using my camera, RB's LEGOs, and Comic Life. If only I had more time.

centroid

Architects love diagrams. Projects live and die by them here in architecture school.

This is an interactive diagram I made to show the "Centroid" of the Harvard undergrad housing (sans frosh). I won't explain too much except to explain that "weighted" means that the calculations take into account the number of residents, so a more populated house will affect the centroid more than a sparsely populated house. Unweighted is then just the average by location only. Also see if you can figure out how to turn on and off houses and edit their populations (note: the population numbers are accurate for most of the houses as of this year).

p.s. See if you can find the bug in the programming. I could probably fix it…if I wanted to.

sixDays

This is curver's remorse. How am I going to make/ draw this?, originally uploaded by neutralSurface.

I have to figure out a way to make this badboy out of materials that are by nature flat. This may hurt.

fractal

In order to begin our last project for our first year core studio, I made an actionscript program that imposes a semi-random fractal over our site. What the script came up with was pretty interesting…at least I think so
