Underneath the Surface


Treasure waits...



As part of work for memorial park, historic foundations are unearthed - remains of military baracks like those seen still standing in the background above, as well as things much older, said the man with the spade mysteriously.

Doing is a Pre-Condition of Thinking

We are entering the final days of term...



The goldfish will have to find a new home



Things are built 1:1




(I want to do this very much) - pictured are designs being presented before they are shipped and built in Christchurch for a one-day temporary architecture festival happening tomorrow (Oct 20th) http://www.luxcity.co.nz/


Which then quickly make way for review sessions

There was also a great lecture this evening, by Thomas and Martin Poschauko, flown in from Bavaria to present their research into design process, available in a new book called Nea Machina, [said with a germanic accent] "Currently only available in German, but in January it will be available in Chinese." I quote them quoting someone I cannot remember for the title of this post.



They were twins and pretty hilarious. They also spoke very well of the need for a strong relationship between what they defined as the Head, Gut, Hand, and Computer, as a system for design that uses all four equally.

It has started already!


Wellington City Council are beginning phase one of their redevelopment of the Kilbirnie town centre http://www.wellington.govt.nz/projects/new/kilbirnie/kilbirnie.html 
Now I just need to convince them they want to build an urban park/ transit hub too...
