posted this as comment but will make more visible!
OR (sorry) we could propose a performative text or a paper of some kind, try to be creative with the format and reference the theme that way too, so we would have more time to prepare then before the symposium in December. Dont worry if this is all too much x

drawings/text?
If we are doing an 'exhibition' piece we need drawings, but text for a text, confusing! I think we can include drawings, photographs, documentation etc

key words
a break down of concrete geometries...
what new technologies in design offer to the human condition
concrete - actual
geometry - constructed environment
PARTICULAR/IMMEDIATE/ACTUAL USE OR PRACTICE
"‘Concrete Geometries’ investigates the intimate relationship between spatial form and human processes - be they social or aesthetic - and the variety of new material entities this relationship might provoke. By bringing together art, architecture, sciences and humanities, we hope to connect fields of knowledge that are currently fragmented through disciplinary boundaries."
Geometry and perception or social processes
Questions to address:
- How is spatial form socially and experientially relevant?
- How does it choreograph human processes?
- Can it stimulate emotional or behavioral responses or create particular aesthetic experiences?
- Can social cultures be pattered through formal configurations of space?
- How can the articulation of a space support acts of inhabitation, appropriation or other types of direct
engagement?
- How do we perceive space visually and bodily?
- What social or aesthetic consequences does the formal articulation of space have for our everyday lives and the production of reality?
- What kind of associations emerge between spatial form and social actors?
INTERDICIPLINIARITY!
WHERE ARE WE PLACED AS AN ARTIST/ARCHITECT/COMMUNITY OR SOCIAL PRACTICE COLLABORATION?
we could have an interesting position, they're inviting a variery of disciplines so we could propose something quite specific to us, maybe observe/suggest/make insertions something existing?

Concrete Geometries
I think it would be interesting to propose a space, some kind of structure that we can design and potentially build based on budget and time, so maybe consider materials and make this part of the concept?
It is asking for work that considers 'spatial form and social or aesthetic processes'.
Perhaps we can consider a type of social process, temporary gatherings or meetings, and spaces where people can be present via the internet too, and a structure that can be collapsed and adjusted to suit different uses like this?
this sounds complex but we could really simplify it down and make something quite striking in that way...
what do you think?

Portland Works Text
I think we should definitely work by these categories, but hopefully create a text that can be fragmented to be more abstract, so the categories are not apparent in reading. Maybe we can start by drafting out the history and certain memories/anecdotes and build around that?

Portland Works: ideas for the txt
Hello... Was thinking of writing stuff under a few different (provisional) headings to get the process underway... I proper the following:
1. Official Documentation- this would be stuff like the listing and the fact it was he first place in the world to manufacture stainless steel
2. Stories/ tales- this could be z collection of anecdotes/ stuff people have told me
3. Atmosphere/ sounds
4. (modifications to/of) The Building- so the machinery, changes people have made, aditions, demolitions, the fire damage, repairs to help each other out etc
