My first post in the New Year. A lot of excitement, new ideas, competitions, conferences, commissions and discussions. So Eric Fino, Aaron Campbell, Rick Lin and I applied for the InterArchtive commission which we didnt get. But the idea generation and flow was great and so was our project. I think the obsession of interactive architecture with moving walls and surfaces is so complete that they are unable to perceive anything beyond that. Our project PDF is here. I am working with these talented men on more architecture and technology and haven’t been disappointed. I would surely like to work with more women though. Other than that, there is the urbantine project and the CityRacks project which I am looking forward to working on. There are a few more ideas regarding networked household objects which I am obsessed with. A little bit work on that will ensue soon with the help of some friends on India and New York. Other than that I attented the Mind 08 conference, Rahul Mehrotras lecture in Columbia and a panel discussion on interactivity with Tom igoe on the panel. Will post the details on those once I lay my hands on the notes (they are somewhere). I think the first two events surely helped me look at my own work through a lens. I loved Rahul’s work, his honesty, irritation with the bureaucracy and love for the vibrant culture that is India. More to come on that. My new website/blog is up too. I have been concentrating on ‘my’ work. Notice the number of I’s and My’s in this post. it says it all.
