Cloud and help

Dear all,
This is a note from a former student of mine.


"I also wanted to ask you if you think that some of your students would be interested in helping out with the installation set up and monitoring. We have realised that it would be good to have some additional help with installation set up.

We need around 6 people to help for 2 days from 7 -11 on the friday and from 11- 9 on the saturday.  It is quite an amazing thing be around so hopefully it will  be quite rewarding + the launch party will be great of course. " from Pernilla Ohrstedt

Pernilla and Asif are setting up this next friday and saturday this cloud installation and it looks quite amazing in the clip they sent me in September.They are forming a new practice and are exceptionally talented designers.Please contact me via email -

S.M.J.ISA@greenwich.ac.uk if you are interested in helping.

If you are unable to help out you should at least try to see their installation.

Lecture by C.J.Lim this monday

SHORT STORIES:

London in two-and-a-half-dimensions.

CJ.Lim Studio 8 Architects 

Open Lecture: Monday 7th November at 18:00  in  LT KW315  Greenwich Maritime.

"Combining place and fiction, the book takes well-known institutions, epochs and lifestyles from tens sties across the city of London and renders them fantastic in a string of architectural short stories. The medium is an intersection of paper assemblages and text, occupying a liminal territory where familiar characters find themselves in unexpected environments and places transform into active protagonists. The stories have been exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts and the Victoria and Albert Museum but are collected for the first time in a single volume, laid out as one phantasmagoric city vision. Painstakingly constructed, the stories encompass a retelling of the ‘Three Little Pigs’ at Smithfield, a dating agency at Battersea, and a ringed transport system manifesting as a celestial river over the great metropolis. Enthralling and inspirational, this cabinet of curiosity and wonder depicts a vision of the city that is immoral, anarchic, unscientific and at the same time glorious, ravishing and a pleasure to behold." 

Copies of the new book "Short Stories" will be available for sale to students.  Books will be sold at discounted price of £15 (normal retail price is £19.99) - cash only

object of wonder

This machine was designed by Rollin A. Harris and E.G. Fischer and constructed in the instrument shop of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. It was completed in 1910 and replaced the Ferrel Tide-Predicting Machine in 1912. The machine summed 37 constituents and was capable of tracing a curve graphically depicting the results.
