Back to the Blog
It seemed the blog had outlived it's usefulness, I had every intention of signing off with the last post I made almost a month ago. But now after a hiatus and a push from Soumitri maybe it can contribute something again.
The end of the semester is near and aparantly it is time to look back over the past ten weeks to see what has happened. But it is still happening, this project that we have started in studio and studies this semester is one that will never finish. As soon as it does there will be nothing left.
The studies project is almost in the bag, but now studio is more of a problem. Ben's magazine idea is a fantastic way of having the conclusion (that some people desperately want) to the end of the semester.
At the moment I've got a few things of the boil for studio, An entry for the Japan Design Foundation competition, together with Andrew. It is still a concept witch hasn't even been discussed at length, so I may as well put it up for discussion here.
From the kinetic powered wok concept we worked out that to power the wok long enough to cook dinner, all the members of the family would have to contribute to the energy. Maybe by wearing kinetic bracelets or something that would charge during the day and could be plugged into a shared energy 'pool' at home. Powering out e-wok and whatever else is in the house.
This basic premise has now extended to lots of little discreet ways of capturing or generating energy that all get combined to power a household.
Other stuff that is on the mind is the reece bathroom competition, might bring this on mon next week to try and get some feedback - it's just an intergrated bathroom that can drop into an existing space, reducing labour cost, waste and time etc. Very small and compact unlike the Buckminster Fuller attempt 30 years ago.
Last sort of big thing that may or may not happen is an essay of fashion. Not only the wearable type but also the fashion of thinking, politics, ideologies, approaches.
I'm Back :-)
