i want to sincerely apologize to those i have whined, bitched, and freaked out to....but thanks for having the patience to deal with my emotional connection to this project...
i've had some time to really think about what the reveiwers said and i have had an epiphany and understand what they meant:
any phenomenon in almost any field can be related to a dynamic system...biology, geology, astronomy, and even ECONOMICS.... i needed to relate my project to a SPECIFIC dynamic system instead of being so generalized....
i realize that during my presentation, and even in the pursuit of my paper i was basically saying "hey, i'm using a dynamic system..." and david ruy was saying, "okay, that's great...what kind??" and i didn't have an answer...
SOOOOO bringing it back to my PROGRAM and my initial reason of using the market as a revitilization tool for the area....my dynamical system going to be based in market economics....
sounds dry doesn't it....WELL...the thing is this: most dynamical systems that people find interesting(at least architecturally) are based in biological type conditions(ex: rhizomes, ephimites, recombinant structures in DNA, hurricane and weather patterns etc.) but the OTHER types are not ususally utilized(ex: economic supply/demand type market dynamics....and yes there are these type of dynamical systems available--just as a common one that you might know about indirectly--remember the movie "A Beautiful Mind"--basically the guy was dealing with mathematical strategies that ended up altering the way that we now look at economics....possibly a dynamic system equation that attempts to graph these situations???)
and many OTHER examples of dynamic patterns can be found in the book "A Thousand Years of Non-Linear History" where Manuel DeLanda(yes i am resurrecting him) discusses these patterns in anything and everything from genomic patterns to economics to lava flows to urban settlement patterns to bacteria to war to whatever....fascinating isn't it... i KNEW there was a reason that i loved that class...plus if i really find that the economics models don't yeild alot of workable information i can look at the other conditions of the site/context and see what comes from that...
SOOOO now i am going back to look through my book list and notes from the urban dynamics class [and also meeting with Bill Braham and Ali Rahim] to move back a step or two in the process, gain some clarity of purpose, and then surge on to greatness.....okay the last part is somewhat questionable but whatever...
Song of the Day: "Money can't buy me Love"--beatles--oh but it might in this case baby, yeaaaa!!
