EXP 3: Week 1

Mashup:

Engineering can be seen as delivering knowledge by a direct route, however architecture has a special role in representing relationships of space and time. Engineers must to strive to do new original and creative work and not be content with the rote and unimaginative work which, while necessary, should be done as efficiently and effectively as possible. The considerations that inform an engineers mind are experience, the use of design standards as a way of passing on knowledge and know-how. This kind of know-how represents knowledge relating to some of the most fundamental features of nature. An engineer through their own experience, or by reading about the experiences of others, develop an intuitive insight and feel for a problem and the way solutions can be developed. The physical products of engineering can help us to access knowledge about the world, whereby contemplating space with the whole body and all senses, not just with the eyes and intellect, allows more awareness of conflicts. Engineering knowledge is genuinely cumulative, improved all the time by building on, and not re-writing, what went before. In this sense engineers starts to deal with the metaphysical (beyond the known), particularly once the human subject and its body have been introduced, we see immediately that this is at once a physical and conceptual entity, being and becoming, acting and thinking.






Initial Lumion Valley:

My Lumion valley was inspired by the Wombeyan Caves and surrounding mountains in regional NSW. This landscape is characterised by a forested highlands with limestone caves and deep rock valleys hidden within.
