Basically, a podcast is a series of audio recordings that are broadcast on the web. After recording an episode and exporting it to your hard drive as an mp3 or m4a file, you can then upload it on to the class blog or your own blog using podpress. Here are some general instructions I found on using garageband from […]

Steel-constructed shade for an entire city

Stephen Elliott IDC 4001H March 11 2014 I stand motionless at the median, subsumed by a shadow colossal. Under the cooling gaze of steel girders; the brash indifference of rusting rivets, I feel infinitesimally meaningless. Insignificant. I am but a flake of oxidation cast from the highest point of the empire state. Each day I […]

Buildings Want to be Skinny Too

New York City is almost synonymous to the tall skyscrapers towering over humans and gently grazing the blue sky. During the era of the Empire State Building, architects and construction builders were obsessed with the idea of building up and building tall.

Thus is the case with menial items such as basic clothing, shelter, and food. It is also the case with ornate items to satiate the wealthy. Luxury cars and […]

Slender is Better?

Skyscrapers are a given in New York City, and it seems like a given that they are getting more and more slender.  We are running out of space and the only way to continue building and continue to pad the pocketbooks of developers/owners/architects  that are a major part of the building process.  A slender building […]

1,000 ft Above the Streets & $11,950/ sqft Beyond Reach

Moving photographs of families in matching Polo button-down, abstract post-modern sculptures painted in rust orange and caramel frappuccino beige, and sleek bookshelves with encyclopedias and New York Time’s best sellers line the glass walls. Yorkies bark at the housekeepers, who are ironing personally deigned suits and dresses that will likely not be warn again. The […]
