Fieldnotes: Week 552
This week we had a really big share on Project Playway and made great progress with Project Centurion too, a little highlight of the week was a highly masked up site visit for Centurion involving thirty meters of rope.
In the (home) studio, we got a little obsessed with obscure Japanese telephone boxes…
Loads more to explore and enjoy here:
We had a good look at Olafur Eliasson’s new major work in Chicago (and briefly imagined in a couple of years time visiting a group exhibition at the Tate where major artists displayed work they made in lockdown… warts and all).
A Tiled Wave Ripples Across Olafur Eliasson’s New Installation in Downtown Chicago
A tip of the hat to the resourcefulness of the Chip Bag project ‘A Detroit Environmental Activist is Turning Chip Bags into Sleeping Bags for the Homeless’
We admired the obsession that led to this book of British Gate typologies being made (click through to see the entire thread)
We also came across this insta account of soviet architecture,
We listened to Alastair Parvin explain how pretty much everything bad in the society can be traced to the history of the history of land system… absolutely fascinating, highly recommended.
And congratulations to placement Megan Joy Barclay who along with a bunch of friends makes a magazine called 34minus1… Megan is editor and issue 2 was published this week. Check it out here…
See you next week.
