Opacity
So, I am putting together a portfolio for a graduate program after a year hiatus from school. However, I am missing an article that was required reading for one of the design projects. I believe it was called "Opacity," and I think it's a pretty well known article. If anyone knows the author of the article or where I might be able find a copy so I can remember why the hell my project looks the way it does. All I really remember is that it was a relatively short article (6-12 pages) and it was about architectural opacity. Thanks a million.
transparency.colin rowe?
YES! Thank you so much.
Dear holz.box,
You are a genius. Seriously.
Sincerely,
n.
holz gets a high five for that one
i was kinda hoping that this was an actual essay . . .
whoo!
i wasn't sure. i used to keep it by my bed and smack myself with it so i'd fall asleep, but i find that christian norberg schulz does that much better now.
i love the word 'opacity' -
OPACITY
the automatic dichotomy it suggests (opacity vs __),
the way it looks as a word,
and the way it sounds when you say it out loud to yourself.
so consider this a bump, i guess.
A parable in the making to think that sometimes what you are looking for is opacity but what you really need is transparency.
