  1. The next Urban Islands will be in 2011. And with that: the 2009 session comes to a close. Watch for recaps on various blogs... [GM] 6:58 PM Jul 25th from twhirl
  2. So thanks again! Incl. @jordesign for the ongoing coverage, @soundscrapers for the blog updates, @kmitts for saying hello, and on & on. [GM] 6:57 PM Jul 25th from twhirl
  3. ...by way of island overlooks, 1:1 scale drawings installed on the landscape, artificial weather systems and so on. Plus beer. [GM] 6:55 PM Jul 25th from twhirl
  4. Ship hulls of light hanging in space, curtains of disintegrating fabric, and a tunnel full of spatial Tarot cards rediagnosing the island... 6:53 PM Jul 25th from twhirl
  5. Nearly 12 straight hours out there, from finishing installations to presenting all our work to a BBQ, then running to catch the ferry. [GM] 6:53 PM Jul 25th from twhirl
  6. Thanks to everybody who came out to Cockatoo yesterday - students, reviewers, architects, organizers, instructors - we had a blast. [GM] 6:52 PM Jul 25th from twhirl
  7. Off to the island now, catching the 7:20 ferry... An army of sleepless architects ships itself seaward. [GM] 1:25 PM Jul 24th from twhirl
  8. - and Mette's group has been producing ephemeral interiors made from digital incisions into fabric. Parasite interiors. Soft space. [GM] 8:44 PM Jul 23rd from twhirl
  9. Mark Smout's group seems to have figured out how to install complex optical devices and other visual photo-effects in only two weeks' time - 8:43 PM Jul 23rd from twhirl
  10. I feel like my studio here is really bringing together an interesting mix of mythology, history, spatial taxonomy, and analytic design. [GM] 8:38 PM Jul 23rd from twhirl
  11. Working with one of my students to make seed-packs from the Institute of Architectural Phantomology: their growth reveals missing buildings. 8:28 PM Jul 23rd from twhirl
  12. ...from Mark Smout's group and the "robotic textiles" and artificial weather systems of Mette Ramsgard Thomsen's group. All ends tmw! [GM] 8:24 PM Jul 23rd from twhirl
  13. My own studio is producing 16 fantastically imaginative projects - and that's before I've even mentioned the "luminous projectiles"... 8:23 PM Jul 23rd from twhirl
  14. ...through the island 4000 years from now, a horror comic book about mass resurrection via industrial cranes, a new boardgame and so on [GM] 8:23 PM Jul 23rd from twhirl
  15. We've got what might be called counterfeit archaeological scifi, "the Woodward & Bernstein of reappearing ships," a photo-tour... 8:22 PM Jul 23rd from twhirl
  16. Very impressed by how much work these guys have done in only two weeks (one week, really). In one full term we could invent a universe. [GM] 8:21 PM Jul 23rd from twhirl
  17. I'm here with some of my students finishing up their projects - an awesome blend of counterfeit documents and fake future projections. [GM] 8:20 PM Jul 23rd from twhirl
  18. Our final day here in the studio is oddly silent: Mark Smout's and Mette Thomsen's groups are out on the island installing their work. [GM] 8:20 PM Jul 23rd from twhirl
