with up to 7 critics - Kieran Long, Mel Dodd, Daniel Serafimovski and Caroline who came half way through and then our standard trio: Catrina, Peter, Robert
thank you
The crit was to discuss the actual gift and giving of it.
I erm thought I was quite late handing it over to the post office on the way to the presentation. As it turned out, I was quite early :))
the benefit is, its irreversible. I simply gave it, it has left me, I cant take it back. win!
the letter with the manual was addressed to Blanca Juarez & Colonias Unidas
the actual gift was a manual/measuring tool - bunting.
I took a standard US road, found out the widths of safety zones and lane markings, kerbs, pavements, marked them up with different colour flags, attached to the string. The bunting also contained respective instructions on how to produce such markings, pavements.
All wrapped up in plastic zip bags with chalk to mark up and accompanied by postcard to send out depicting the streets with pavements already.
The brave plan was to send numerous booklets, say to every post box and there were hundreds, in the end one went to Texas as a test. More, but simpler will go after comments.

fav quotes:
londonesque presentation
talking within the lexicon of developers
perhaps the task is to not understand an informality at all
how to test it is part of how to understand it
bring something fashionable somewhere completely unfashionable
moment of sickness (in the feasting)
envisage the scale rather then the system
Julia King PhD - have to ask about that!
high street becomes from ownership
abstracting death, this is one thing that you cant abstract
you are offering group therapy as an answer to mourning, now theres a problem already & you are housing it
RIBA was trying to pretend to be important
I am letting them become relevant again
It does what it has been designed for - look important
the bureaucracy is the architecture
your presentation so far was about the making and the team. So then being vague about the role of architect is like having a volcano with no magma
this is a satire! a nightmare
RIBA is designed to give meaning, Hilton is designed to pomp itself.
It would be so easy to be dismissive of the RIBA
Palais de Tokyo
new highrise of landscape
soft colonisation - not necessarily japanese (but voluntary, TV, McDonald.. )
it takes a generation of buildings to appropriate emptiness
emptiness is best in temples, corners of gardens..
the tendency of thinking about the public as where the crowd is
bar is more political then liverpool street station
you were aided by the lack of understanding. London will be much harder
the project is about the preparation of understanding of the project.
What do we call vernacular!
We need to redescribe what these terms mean: vernacular, informal, public..
map of pins within it - movable - it needs to be filmed
you are implicating rather then consulting
using food as regeneration process
The actual space is just stalls really, but really you are designing the system
say something lasting
Its a line, so you make it more interesting, you make it in brick
But you are in denial, they actually want to live in the tall buildings
If you cant describe why you like it, how do you make people keep it?
route....marshland versus pier in UK
am nesting, in a church
This is a brief: I dont like squares
temperature changes in walled garden because of the (lack of) wind
a bit of space to grow into (1500 books)
fetishist project
you ve got to stop this shaggy dog story
you dont want to give presentation, you want us to contribute
supreme narcissism
I wanna die faced down in muck
If there is nothing more then difference in underfloor heating maybe it is more interesting to ask: why are housing blocks the same in Korea as in UK!
the housing blocks are like fridges
in its uselessness it offers too much appropriation - makes it useful
shouldn't the absence of the thing be as noticeable as its presence?!
It should be less useful
part of culture and its critique
I found out that the masters is actually more credits then the Free Unit
Thats why your drawings are so small
is the medium inherent
Why do you want to open up views to St. Pauls
Because we all believe in God
how does your proposal provide any resistance
So much of the city are 3D models covered in pink granite
Planners usually instead of conflicting motifs flatten design into: circulation, commercial value, view and usually green.
Suburbia is a sort of homelessness
street of lost limbs and lost people leading to rail garden.
lasting comment:
there wasn't a project whose topic didn't inspire, although there generally seemed to be a reluctance to look for what made the topic so important/relevant/profound/
and this time first time we had the seoul kids with us. finally no skype
; we did our best bonding over the stakes in the Duchess.
