Elizabeth Harvey_3b-New Questions and Sources

1.    1.  What influenced the deconstructivism movement and what influence has it had?

2.    2. How can the theories of graffiti such as, technique, location, political influences and so on create a special quality?


Each new question formed from influences of critiques from previous assignments, collages, personal blogs and class discussions. Articles that have been used as previous sources have introduced new themes, names of architects or researchers and sources that then have become the basis of new research. It is helpful to use current sources as research for the next source. In this assignment a priority has been given to the idea that graffiti is more then just an act of vandalism and thus the research has been based around finding out what more there is to the art. Also trying to find architects that use these methods or share similar methodologies is a main focus. There is a solid relationship between graffiti and donconstructivism and therefore, finding what contributed to this movement and what this movement as encouraged may help in finding how promoting graffiti could do similar things.  I have been trying to find spatial relationships of graffiti in order to find a way to either create a space that would support and promote this unique art form or translate the ideas behind graffiti and use architecture to relay the same ideas.
