"...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...

present/read/think/travel etc
Thinking about using disparate but related presentations/texts/images in the seperate lifts reminded me of performance lectures by Alexandre Singh, he speaks in a really eloquent but irreverent way and links whole seta of seemingly random images or sometimes uses images as a background to counter/add to what hes saying. I also like these notebook pages, maybe theres something in the idea of notes as opposed to conclusive, linear texts; the way we tend to ramble (!) and the way notes are compiled into a coherent form but nthe lift will deny a coherent presentation.
Maybe we could have flip charts?!
There's also the idea of the internal/external voice working simultaneoiusly. I'll show you the text I write where I attempted to speak of the space of reading and that of writing with that of an unidentifiable traveller. 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.
I saw a group reading of B.S Johnson's House Mother Normal at the Whitechapel, the characters thoughts began to overlap and were s=read siomultaneously, sometimes making sense in order and at others being quite incomprehensible. Maybe what we say is related but diverges.
