RESPONSE DIAGRAMS
RESPONSE DIAGRAMS
These diagrams represent takeaways from scholarly articles in my University Environmental Design classes. The purpose of completing these diagrams was to be inspired by text and learn how to translate that inspiration into a graphic.
The first response diagram to the right was inspired by a reading on Charles and Ray Eames. The quote stuck out to me because I had never seen a definition like this of what is design.
The second response diagram is based off of the first chapter of Resilience in Ecology and Urban Design. The chapter entitled "Ecology of the City as a Bridge to Urban Design" focuses on how ecological science is necessary to support dialogue and understanding of urban design. In this graphic, we were told that we could use minimal or no text in our final draft.
I was inspired by the reading as a whole and wanted to make a graphic of observing systems of New York City. The focus was on how the built environment has a direct correlation to systems like transportation and natural ecologies in cities like New York. These systems work together and depend on each other in order to function.
The third response diagram stems from a reading entitled "Three Challenges for Environmental Philosophy." The author Jim Moran tries to explain how hard it is going to be to save our planet in the future. This reading focuses on the topic of environmental ethics, and how it can play a role in saving our planet.
The response diagram to the right is a quote from this reading. It is explaining how society views our "dream cities". I hypothesized that a paradigm shift would have to happen in order for society to see cities how they should function and be built. Only then will we be able to save our planet.
The response diagrams below are graphic representations of university readings and articles. They were inspired by quotes located within each article or an idea extrapolated out of the readings.
