Inspiration XV
...the New Canaan Johnson estate... ...as an ideal setting and real museum of architecture. ...my own digital museum (Laguna, Wacko, etc.) as a virtual place/museum that is a free experiment in architecture.

ideas
...ideas concerning the notion of designing buildings first as ruins with a set of design alternatives to demonstrate how the architecture can adapt over time. The best example of manifesting my idea is the Wacko House as infrastructure (as it is right now) and the actual cladding and climatizing of the "building" can take on any number of manifestations (which I may or may not also design). ...[this] has theoretical implications (i.e., regarding the extremism of historical preservation, palimpsest, urban renewal, metabolism vs. osmosis, design over time, Piranesi's contiguous elements, etc.) ...produce demonstrations of the theory within the virtual realm.

Ichnographia as a base for Quondam models
...the idea of placing the model collection into some kind of context--an imaginary context--and now the idea of using the Ichnographia as the base plan for the context. Moreover, the "program" of the Ichnographia could inform the museum context. For example, the Porticus Septa Julia is analogous to Plecnik's Houses Under a Common Roof (although perhaps not close in scale?). This presents the opportunity to place other models in other analogous situations.
...including Parkway Interpolation as well as the whole Center City model. This is also the prefect environment for the library elements, and indeed all the 2D and 3D data.
...the makings of an extremely virtual place. Like the Ichnographia, the whole design could manifest a message, and that message may be a critique of architecture today, starting with putting Laguna, Mayor and Wacko in place of the Garden of Satire.

Test Wacko House 002 as the new Barnes Foundation; see how the design fits.

Response to Donna, re: Traditional Architecture
It's time for me enlarge/combine both my houses.
Mayor's House
Wacko House
The program is simple: add lots more period rooms--Ludi 002.
