In music composition you may operate with certain parameters such as density, pitch / frequency, texture, duration, transparency, opacity, collision, collapse, intensity, flow/movement, rhythm, volume, timbre - dynamics - contents of a spatial narration.

Tao G. Vrhovec Sambolec showed some examples in Ljubljana (some stimulating spatial experience/awareness/appearance). For instance we heard sound/noise, simultaneously followed by 2D transcriptions of some parameters.

To make music you either work directly with these parameters, graphically, as in electronic generation of sound, or more indirectly, as in any manipulation of some musical 'sketch' / notation.

Architecture operates with similar parameters, at least in architectural description of projects / buildings, often with intuitively based transcriptions, from space/drawing to text. For instance: We talk about 'flow' without communicating the character of it. Transcriptions through parameters may assist this communication, and even make it possible to generate architectural space from transcriptions - in the first place.

Anyone using parameters like this?

tomorrow i m on my way to lille for a short trip, only few days i ll stay there. i anouncing it, because there might be some wishes or questions on the site, the program, or whatever. i.e. special infos for people, who thinks about providing workshops and have special wishes concerning infos about given possibilities and elsewhat.

Hi there! What a nice surprise, since a while i didn't login to the weblog, and look what a difference! Cool! I like the changes... Btw: I hope LJ was a success, too bad I couldn't make it, hope Frederik (Be) could keep up the good spirit! Hope to see you all soon, Margareta x.

I just wanted to put an very old File into the trashbin but found inside an very old, yellow paper. It was the invitation to the EASA in 1984 Aarhus. ;any thoughts came up to my mind and indeed, it was one of the very higlights of my intire time as a student. Just for fun, I put these ancient letters into the google-machine and oh wonder: It's still going on ! I don't belive it,- they are still living... I'm so surprised because I never ever heard about EASA after it took place in Berlin in 1988, maybe because I finished my studdies. Hello to all the architecht-students in europe and a special Hello to those who had been a student, once uppon a time ... Chris Krafft from Westfalia (Middle-Europe)

hi everybody, about the photo-ws of arne hodalic i wanted to ask on this way, if participants perhaps can be informed about some statistics. how many are we/ how many gave material to select from, and then, how many pictures did anja recieve all together, so, was it an success until now , the whole thing? so please organizers, keep us up to date...

another reason to post that here is: i asked anja to get out, weather arne hodalic could perhaps give me some critics about the pix i did for the ws. some others of u might be interessted in that also, so my suggestion is, do to it perhaps here on the weblog, so everybody could learn something from the critics on everybodys pictures aswell... what do u think?

yours jost/nc/berlin

nice to hear from you. have you already asked for internet connections? maybe i've missed it... ;-) and how do you want to reach the people who don't visit the site because it's too "hightech" for their connection? you might talk to "well connected" people only...

sorry for not making a proposal how to solve the problem. no idea. should have been a topic for the incm. keep trying this way and let's keep it in mind for the next meeting. if you don't change the site before.

what about argentina?

johannes and i are thinking about making some changes on this site. the challenge is to make a low-tech site (accessable for everybody/ everywhere) that is also nice (so there is no room for heavy graphics). to know your needs i ask you again to take part in the voting started few month ago. you must be loged in to vote, one user one vote: thx, mark0
