Wouldn’t it be nice it wasn’t on purpose?
Yesterday, invited by Maki from Åbäke, we went to the guided tour of the Somerset House’s exhibition: Wouldn’t it be nice? / Wishful thinking in art and design which present a selection of work by Ryan Gander, Jurgen Bey, Dunne & Raby with Michael Anastassiades, Bless, Dexter Sinister, Alicia Framis, Martino Gamper, Marti Guixe, Tobias Rehberger, Superflex and Chosil Kil.
⁂ The tour was guided by Kevin Flude ◊ and was a reflexion on what a guided tour is; from the beginning the main idea was to introduce the interaction with the audience. I was asked to act/play the designer of the guide: i had to choose a concept and design our guide accordingly; this bit was a bit unexpected and it was a rather confusing experience. After this introduction outside of the building, we started the tour and followed the exhibition’s succesion of projects. Kevin introduced us to a whole range of projects, but exhibited at another exhibition which itself too was exploring what Design is trough a specific angle, the purpose: On-Purpose ◊◊
⁂ The experiment was really nice and completely resulting of the delightful improvisation of our wonderful guide. He is going to post a few reflexion on his own blog, following this post in which he is coming back from the tour.
It’s nice to see design reflections can also have their echoes in various other fields like organsiing tour (which is, after all, about presenting informations).⁂ ◊ Kevin Flude is a guide with a blog: And Did Those Feet; Kevin is also closely related with a history museum: The Old Operating Theatre Museum, as well as teaching at St Martins.
◊◊ This exhibition is taking place at Arnolfini in Bristol
◊◊◊ I’m part of the show at Arnolfini — so, there is a due disclosure: Electronest has been commissioned to make an intervention on internet for the exhibition - sadly Kevin forgot to mention the project during the tour and i missed my few seconds of fame :)

Living in (east) London
east london
Maxime (my good old mate, master at typography as well as at tatooing, amongst other things) filmed our flat a while back when he visited for the tatoo convention 2008 in Bricklane; he posted the video on the website for his Sang Bleu Magazine - here* it feels a bit strange to see your own flat on the website of someone else :)

The mini versions
This morning discussing with Amandine and Anna we came across a couple of buildings which had a mini version of them beforhand their construction - either trough a natural research process or simply because investors were too scared of the novelty the building could represent and the consequent impact on the landscape…
The Barbican, by suburbanslice
the Golden Lane estate, by stevecadmanBarbican & the Golden Lane estate
Barbican is a well known huge and massive architecture programme in the center of London; after World War 2, a large bombed area has been converted into this utopian project which was reconsidering the needs of modern humans in a urban environnement. Both Barbican and Golden Lane Estate were designed by architects Chamberlin, Powell and Bon, with obvious Corbusian influences. Golden Lane is of course the mini version (somehow) of the Barbican and came earlier (1957, 1969).
Trevelyan by Jamie Barras
Keeling house by joseph beuys hatKeeling House & Trevelyan House
Denys Lasdun designed both of them; they were built between 1957 and 1959. Keeling house is a 4 blocks of maisonettes arranged around a central service tower. In 1952, a rougher similar construction has been built, apparently more dedicated to the working class.
Balfron Tower, by Richard Parmiter
Trellick Tower, by Cristiano BettaTrellick Tower & Balfron Tower
I’ve been introduced to those two by Ryan Gander trough his amazing loose association lectures series. When confronted with the volume of the tower designed by Ernõ Goldfinger, investors were scared this would be like a scar in the landscape (London does not have a lot of skyscraper, especially atthat time). They managed to get a smaller version built in East London, to get an impression of how it would be build.* Process wise:
This pre production makes me think that for each of the website i am delivering there would be one, officially working, to test case the pertinence of the design and concpets as well as the solidity of the code.* More information on the building:
