Design, as far as architectural conception goes, is often a reaction to artistic or scientific innovation- a response to it. In innovations such as film, the architect develops ways of invoking movement (animation as opposed to motion). In innovation of music, design concepts tackle the difficulty of making music, an intangible art-- static (music frozen). Our objective now is to pull from literature, primarily the works of Ernest Hemingway, to create what we call
The Lost City.


The initial idea, in regard to my influence, came from the artwork of my brother, who developed a style which invokes ideas of urban chaos. one would think that the fabric of a diagrammed city was punctured by gunshot. The balance of an artistic piece resides, but the viewers eye scours frantically to find a focus. E. Mathis once made a comment to me about the way that Hemingway wrote (Trauma Theory) which diverted from a primary emphasis, and in doing so, created a mode and theme.
