TIME- SPACE (AND DIGITAL) COMPRESSION: SOFTWARE FORMATS, MUSICAL NETWORKS, AND THE REORGANISATION OF THE MUSIC INDUSTRY

-

READING NOTES 

This paper is ultimately about the advancement of technology and how it has effected the music industry. Especially looking deep into how the music industry functioned before and after the new technology has been implemented into the natural networks embedded in the industry. I thought this would have been irrelevant to my project however, I think understanding how the industry as a whole has developed through technology might better my understanding of how us designers and musicians have to adapt. 

The inner relationships between supply, production and distribution are the main elements that have changed. It speaks of two sides to the argument, the fact that some celebrate the emergence of internet distribution systems and others curse it, which is very similar to a few of the texts I have already looked at that explains there are two sides to the argument. 

This will mean that when I am working on my physical side of this project, I will need to consider both sides. How can I accommodate both? I need to remember that, technology is not something we can just cancel, so people do need to accept it to some degree but, how can we use design to help people accept the change?

(B5) KEY FEATURES OF GOTHIC ARCHITECTURE

-

Gothic style can vary depending on location, age and the type of building (the purpose as such). However, to identify these buildings architects use five key architectural features: Large stained glass windows This is why gothic architecture is usually associated with places of worship as this feature is prevalent in Gothic cathedrals. "Featuring meticulously cut coloured glass" which are usually tall and arched windows (lancet) or round (rose). Often taller than the windows typically seen in churches. The idea is to let in technicolour light.  It is also known that these windows frequently feature tracery, which is decorative stone support. Pointed arches Another identifiable feature is the pointed arches. These are found in most places of worship i.e churches and cathedrals. It is suggested that the pointed style of these arches was taken from Islamic architecture rather than the typical Romanesque buildings found typically in Europe. The idea behind the shape of these wind...

(B5) GOTHIC ARCHITECTURE: KEY TERMINOLOGY

In order to understand the texts related to Gothic architecture, I really need to understand the terminology as I aforementioned when looking at the previous text. I will be listing definitions along the way to better understand. Also, if my designs will have an informational aspect, it would be better to use this terminology or synonyms at least for whatever target audience I choose.  (All within the context of Gothic Architecture) Pointed Arches  Large pointed arches typically found on the Gothic buildings, also seen in many places of worship Large Stained Glass Windows Hugely associated with churches and cathedrals but, also a key feature in Gothic buildings  Ribbed Vaulting  There are a few different types of vaulting, ribbed vaulting is the one most commonly associated with Gothic architecture. It is an integral structural element to support these large buildings.  Flying Buttresses A similar feature is flying buttresses. They also act as an extra support f...
