CONCEPTS

Goldberg:

• "Certain buildings, even neighborhoods, can’t be altered without being ruined. But all buildings exist in the real world, as do we"
• "Current American architecture is not a matter of art but of business. A building must pay or there will be no inverstor ready to meet its cost. This is at once the curse and the glory of American architecture." Barre Ferrree
• Nature isn't filled with right-angles
• Architecture suffers at the hands of its functionality
• Good architecture predicts the movement of time and accommodates it.
• Landmarks transcend time, however the immortality of monuments is an obstacle in front of scientific progress - meeting the needs of the science of today.
• Goldberg thoroughly believed to design a "city with a city" that could fully accommodate people's everyday needs and activities. 
• Separate components integrated together to give the structure a sense of rhythm and curvilinear form. Replication of elements and varying scales.

Gang

• Studio Gang Architects confronts pressing contemporary issues and seeks to answer questions that exist locally but resound globally.
• Aqua Tower in Chicago, an 82-story high-rise, which critic Paul Goldberger described as “reclaim[ing] the notion that thrilling and beautiful form can still emerge out of the realm of the practical
• when the unusual becomes beauty
• reflecting the culture of the city and reviving the neglected
• a pioneer; the aqua tower and is the tallest building in the world to have a woman as lead architect
• "every building is a product and comes from its own unique set of purposes"
• the sky's the limit

installing plugins for sketchup make

Once you have these three plugins installed:

1. Use the bezier spline tool to draw fluid lines.
2. Next play around with the Curviloft toolset to loft between your lines.
3. Use joint push pull to give your geometry thickness.

Watch some YouTube tutorials for each tool and you will be ace.
