I don’t know if this article did much to talk about the construction of poetics of augmented space as much as a historical overview of the problems associated with new technology, but I thought many of the points brought up about architectural augmentation were interesting. Venturi’s ideas of embracing architecture as the form of communication…

After reading the assignment, it let me understand the artist’s relationship to an augmented space.

I’m choosing to talk about the photographer Leonard Nimoy. Most know him only as Spock from Star Trek, but he is also a producer, director, writer, and a photographer. He has been for over 40 years. His favorite thing to photograph is naked women. He doesn’t title his work, preferring to focus on the content…
