Visible Certainty 2010
This course focuses on the importance, theory and fundamentals of diagramming and mapping information and concepts in a manner relevant to architects. Students study what it means to abstract something and must demonstrate ability to dismantle a system and re-assemble it visually. They do this through assigned exercises along with their own areas of investigation. The assigned exercises include diagramming a film, a painting, a data set, and a self-initiated design research topic.

F1 Rule changes for 2009
This is an excellent animation showing the changes in Formula One for the 2009 season. I think that it is extremely effective in a number of ways:
Context- It shows the cars in the context of race competition.
Relevance- While explaining the changes, it graphically demonstrates how they affect the cars and competition.
Clarity- Each of the changes are clearly shown and irrelevant info is excluded.
Causality - When changes are explained in detail, there is a clear demonstrable cause and effect.
Narrative - There is a clear beginning, middle & end. the changes are demonstrated during the course of a race lap.

DIAG: "Touch of Evil" Tracking Shot
This is a diagram I created that follows the opening tracking shot of Orson Welles', "Touch of Evil." The diagram posits the possible camera path through space, while taking note of the time during the sequence. This sequence was filmed in Venice, california but set in a U.S./Mexico border town.
