"...the idea of evelavtion as architectural drawing and also the sense of a list, like the spec list, passed through in quite a linear way. Maybe there's something in trying to shift this linearity through our words, alter the way the building is defined/encountered..."

"...The multiple spaces we inhabit from moment to moment- we could divert off course and include external interruptions, passing thoughts. references to the space of and the doing of the presentation not just the contents of it."...

yes- perhaps we could use the time of the lift to somehow think about the time of each of the materials and how they change... so if concrete starts to crumble and metal rust and timber bend... each within a different frame... and poeple move in and out of the lift at certain times... then people scratch things into the wall... so almost to mark each Year group passing through the school of architecture... or one of us could introduce these things and then the other counterpoint it...

or one could do about the people that use the building or comission the building... (and them being there and also elsewhere- so thinking of other places) and the other about the physicality of the building? (and perhaps the absence of the hands that built it or the forest where the wood came from)... and then the time of our presentation...

i quite like the fact we haven't been there before and so think that perhaps we can make this building up from our ideas of it rather than being acurate...?

i'm not entirely sure how we bring these things... but perhaps it is a mixture of things such as thinking about sounds, texture... carolyn licked the barcelona pavilion and realised, although it was imperceptible to sight she could slightly taste the rust of the building deteriorating... i'm not suggesting we do that... but...

there was also this nice detail someone drew where the drew the theshold of the lift with a stiletto heel caught it in to talk about the possibility of an erotic encounter... again, not to take this straight, but was thinking it could be a bit embarassing talking in a lift if most of the users have no idea why we are there... so could actually think about that moment of encounter... so when the lift beeps to signal the fllor and there is that second before the door opens... and incorporate that too...

  1. hey... just thought- could it be like film, that each time the lift opens at a floor it is like another frame/ slide of a film?
