Sturlaugson, Brent
The homeless demographic fluctuates in response to economic, political, social, and environmental upsets. As the climate of uncontrollable conditions changes, so does the population of those with inadequate shelter. Responsiveness to unpredictable, tumultuous patterns is a crucial determinate
for the success of a facility that seeks to alleviate homelessness; namely, a programmatic flexibility that ensures longevity. Also imperative in accommodating the homeless population is the combination of
housing and service components in a codependent relationship. An inextricable
bond between housing and services encourages a successful union in an unbroken chain of related facilities in a continuum of care.

Sturlaugson, Brent
Within the confines of static, two-dimensional representation, sensory tools are limited to visual cues, thus demanding the maximum output of symbols. Combining words and images taps multiple perception levels in the audience, creating a greater chance for perspicuity of a concept. Illustrasia is an exploration in graphic communication, employing words and images in sequential panoramas that seek to expand the confines of the chosen format. The communication of anonymous specificities serves as the method for transposing
experience through printed media. Insinuations of time and place vaguely ground the work, but by avoiding labels to culture, time, and geography, a wider identification may be achieved.

Moore, Joseph
A contemporary understanding of embodied human thought processes leads to an awareness that experience is primarily imaginative and context-dependent. Place, as an imaginative experience, is therefore characterized as much by presence as by absence, leading to an obscurity or porosity of identity. This porosity presents an obstacle for the identity of contemporary public place, giving rise to the question: How can a public experience of place, always already porous in experience, afford shared and meaningful experience? One way, it seems, is through the imagination.
