It is funny how a single space can be symbolic. Detroit, to me, is one of such spaces. Let’s face it, as much love as I have for the city, it has issues. I mean, I have faith in the quest to redevelop it, but if you look at the city as a whole, it [...]

Space… the new Frontier
Posted in cities and spaces on November 9, 2007 | 4 Comments »
When we think of moving to the big city, do we think of our life’s problems are going to be changed forever? Well, we would have to go back in time and ask people who lived during the Great Migration era what thier experiences were. From our history books we can see that people in [...]
Space: Urban & Rural
Posted in cities and spaces on November 9, 2007 | 4 Comments »
Space within the city and space within rural areas are virtually contrastin in all possible ways. However, the country and the city and its suberbs have an intertwining relationship with each other.
The city is commonly defined as confined, compacted, and crowded. Those three words are a pretty good desription. Large and congesting buildings, busy walkways, especially in [...]

Space is very important to me and especially what I call home. When I graduated out of high school I got accepted to Michigan State University. At the end of august all of the freshmen had to move into their dorms that they were assigned to. I already knew that I was going to [...]
I Loved That Space

Every space portrays a mood, whether it’s a mood set off by the physical properties of the space, or a mood triggered by memories that an individual is reminded of when he or she enters the space. When someone manages to feel [...]

After analyzing the State Hall building, I thought it’d be interesting to analyze the houses that I’ve lived in throughout my life in the same way. Throughout the 19 and a ½ years of my life, I have moved a total of 5 times. I clearly remember two of the five times, while the other [...]
the country or the city?

I think that the country and the city are two completely different areas. Before I moved to the United States, I lived in Baghdad, Iraq. Every 2 years or so my parents would to take me to where they grew up, a little city up north called Mousel. I loved it there, it was very [...]

Religion is clearly a huge part of the movie that we were watching in class. I believe that religion was so prevalent in the movie because religion was a great part of the life of a black person during the time that the movie was made. During this time, people of the black race did [...]
Space in moderation

Throughout my life I’ve found myself in alot of different kinds of environments. I was born in St. Petersburg, Russia and lived there for 9 years before I moved to the States with my mom. I lived in a very old city, along with old museums, buildings, churches, flats ( like a 13 story appartment [...]
Wayne State…Dorms…Spaces…

Since the exercise with State Hall and spaces, I have been thinking a lot about other places, mainly the dorms, mainly Towers Residential Suites; where I’m living now.
I dont know if its actually more space or if im just used to being crammed into a small place with another person but it seems like [...]
