Intamacy

Intimacy

Many of the course concepts do not necessarily express fully my spatial observation of my Phi Kappa Tau Fraternity house space but one that does the job quiet well is indeed the term we reviewed in Bachelard’s “Corners” the term Intimacy. Intimacy is closeness, love, family or affection something that my fraternity has been holding within our household for over a hundred years. My brothers love and treat me with such affection and respect as if we lived together forever as we create a bond stronger than love presented in Abelard & Heloise and thicker than blood.  With no question intimacy lives among my fraternity house for all of my brothers would         do for each other as they would for themselves because it is in our creed which we live up to every single day. In our creed intimacy must take place as we sing united as one every morning “I believe in the spirit of Brotherhood for which it stands, I shall strive to attain its deals and by so doing bring to it honor and credit.” Bachelard’s found corners intimate spaces as I find this house intimate space where I am accepted because while some people see the house as danger, I see it as freedom from discrimination, crime, and problems occurring throughout my life.

I choose to re blog Marrissa Cervantes post “Into the Creek We Go” on photo collage of the Bear hole creek because it is a large highly popular are full of tremendous memories like my space. The Bear hole is a beautiful unique aspect of Chico that many people choose to see and visit multiple times through out the year resembling the Phi Kappa Tau Fraternity house. The collage was mostly consisting of current photos while my post consisted of photos from now and previous time lengths and I thought it would have been great if there was old pictures of the Bear Hole creek from back way back when like in my post there is a picture from 1978.

                The next post have chosen to re blog is Blaine’s “Just Hanging out” post a photo collage of him at the Rock climbing area inside the Wrec and a previous pic when he was younger showing his love for rock climbing and unique hobby. Our post was similar by showing current and previous photos to show the love of our spaces though long periods of time. A great note Blaine did was took different point of views of him climbing and a first person view of his equipment, similar to my point of view from above below and in day and night time perspective.

Last but certainly not least I chose to re blog Jessicas post “Laughing and Loving my space” as one photo in her collage represents a lot like mine which was a picture of Alcoholic beverages. Alcoholic beverages have always been in my space since the beginning of time resulting in brothers/men having the best time of their lives.

WALKING ON SUNSHINE

While walking down the street, I noticed how much the landscape has changed. The fields are no longer as green and plush as they were in the summer. Now they appear more weathered and closer to the end of their cycle. The trees are losing their leaves as the seasons change. The rice farmer was picking the last of the crops while I walked by. As I scanned the surrounding nature, it seemed to go on forever. Theres a lot more brown in the scenery than there was a month ago. All of the crops seem to be sucking up the last of the water they have been given as though they are starving in this autumn weather.  I really enjoyed walking around this orchard because I got to witness the mid year change in scenery.

The three maps I chose to post a response on were a tour in my castle, seeing from above and Chico State stadium from above. I chose these three because they are very similar and very different to my post from above of the Phi Kappa Tau fraternity house. The post of the Chico State Stadium from above by google maps resembles mine, they are both images presented by google maps and consist of a large area related to Chico State. Also that it is outdated the field in the picture had some dirt spots which it doesn’t have any more like the Phi Kappa Tau house now doesn’t have a small fence and basketball courts.

Seeing from above is the same view as mine which is overhead view but was drawn out perfectly while mine was screen shoted off the internet. This post also consist of a large area, but she put great detail in describing her photo in a south to north direction as for mine was in a corner view from above. Also great detail on the grass and location of areas like the fishes and rocks. Seeing from above post main differences obviously are a house to a park but both are constantly visited a lot throughout the year.

A tour of my castle post ironically I’m dumb and thought it was really a castle but it is just like my post of the Phi Kappa Tau Mansion, but at the same time very different. The post drawn as for mine is google mapped, but for the most part her post is further more greatly detailed with subtitles on locations within her house, as for me it’s just the outside view of the house because drawing and subtitling room would take forever and look messy since there is four floors including the basement and eight rooms. Both these post are of houses but the fraternity house is much larger which too many things to map out and detail. All three post were great and have great detail of their spatial spaces and the view overhead from the sky are all similar. There great post giving great images to see their spatial spaces. Last but not least this post was supposed to be about her room but she included the whole apartment to give in more detail to create a better image, which I had the same opinion by including the backyard and sides of my post of the Phi Kappa Tau fraternity house. All of our post were greatly describing out spatial observation either with or without technology and all of them were pretty great but I’d say the non-technology spaces drawn out look and give better detail.

A Tour in the Castle

I decided to draw my whole apartment for the post, although my spatial observation is in my room. I thought it would be a good perspective to see it as a whole and to see where it’s actual location is. In the map that I drew you can see the most important room (spatial observation space) is in purple. For the most part all the other rooms are in black. In my space you see that my bed has a crown. The crown signifies the most important item in my room. My bed is where all the magic happens, and by magic I mean sleep. When I go into my domain it is the first spot that I head into and I wouldn’t have it any other way. In drawing my whole Apartment and highlighting my room I realize that my space is a piece of something bigger.

Seeing from Above

My map is drawn from the above and is in a south to north direction. The boundaries of my map is from the middle of the grass on the left to the middle of the grass to the right side, with the road on the south to where the plaza hangs off as a cliff over Feather River. In drawn in the trees, mushroom in the grass and the bushes at the edges of the sidewalk. My piece mainly focuses on the circle, where the rocks and fishes are at, wrapped with the garden beds.

This is my space, Chico stadium from an Ariel view. I screen shot this view courtesy of Google Earth, as you can see the picture is a little dated. Notice the lack of green paths in the bottom left hand corner, that is what I can see i do not know of any other dated items maybe you all can find some. I like this picture of the Stadium because the natural light opens up the space and at the same time it casts dark shadows. It also is very linear with the lines around the track, horizontal lines from the bleachers and the lines that make up the game. The overall shape is oval with lines as a pattern compared to the squared off spaces surrounding it.

Corner view of the Phi Tau Mansion.

Thanks to Google Earth I am able to show you this sky corner view of Phi Kappa Tau fraternity which is on the corner of 5th and Hazel. There is a title of the fraternity on the picture because the Phi Tau house is a national known house. This view shows great size of the property and height of the house. I included the back of the house as well to show the old version of the backyard, as of today there’s modifications of a basketball court and parking lot.

Spartial Observation post 2 response

The two post that I choose to re blog were Spatial Living Sounds and Silence Is Golden, because they have many similarities and differences to my partial observation post. These two post were either the exact same or exact opposite of my post. Spatial Living Sounds was a post very similar to my post about the Phi Kappa Tau fraternity house because it is a post in a living room which has many visitors and is noisy throughout the day and night. Also it’s noisy not only from body voices, but technology voices as well like radios, TV, sink, door lock, cars passing by, and loud obnoxious clock tower. To get sleep in the living room is nearly impossible. The only differences between our post is that you could not hear all the items in my post and my post of the phi kappa tau fraternity is much larger and prevalent to visitors throughout the day as off to a regular living room house. Other than the differences I was touched by all the similarities in our post. As for the next post I re blogged Silence Is Golden our post are exact opposites and the differences outweigh the similarities. To begin the fraternity house is never quiet especially on the weekends. There is never silence because of all the things surrounding the house creating noise like people inside and outside the house, or cars, trains, and electronic things on. The house is so loud inside you can not even hear trains pass by four blocks down. Also the fraternity house is not allowed to have pets so that is another difference that separates our post other than silence which seems illegal in the house, but for one reason this weekend the house was locked and quiet for the most part due to a event taking place during the hour I recorded the video. The house was silent for the most part before crowds of people walked downtown and before member of the fraternity came back, it was the first and probably the last time it will ever be that quiet. It was so extremely quiet that the train four blocks down was herd and as I said above it usually isn’t herd. Also even at its quietest there is still random people walking around as you seen in my post with that one weird guy. The last and most important difference between silence is golden in my post is that the silence represent a negative aspect to me because the house should always have vibes and noises wandering in the house and I would expect the same from spatial living sounds

[jackkiiee2015-blog]

The space I chose was the living room, which is a really noisy room. The reason why it’s noisy is because its juxtaposition is the kitchen. The living room itself has noises like the Television operating and people obtaining conversations. The kitchen solely makes a lot of common kitchen noises...

As I sit here and evaluate the sound of my space I notice the slight rumble of a train passing by. I hear the constant buzz of the fan and it’s soothing in spite of the slightly awkward feeling that sitting in total silence leaves me with. The train makes me happy because it makes me think of trips to San Francisco. A jingle of my dog who is visiting and it’s time to snuggle up on the couch. Despite the non existence of music or Netflix in the background I am surprising comfortable and content with the quiet.

A Night Down Town

Special Observation post 2 at Phi Kappa Tau House at night is refreshing and beautiful. The street in front of the house is always busy containing many sounds from various amounts of things. Various things like voices from people walking around headed to have fun as you seen the video a random guy approached the camera in annoying hilarious manner, or parties all around Chico playing music to entertain Chico’s party people. Also sounds also like the light on left corner of the street flickering and car engines speeding by. The Phi Kappa Tau house well she is quiet as a grass growing on a Saturday.
