MATRIX « LEBBEUS WOODS: “The approach involved the creation of a planning matrix for the site. A matrix differs fundamentally from a master plan. Instead of being based on predetermined programs of use, such as School of Business, School of Art, and the like, it is a three dimensional armature designed for the site that will accept many interdisciplinary and hybrid educational programs likely to develop in the future.” (It’s kind of an open-ended circular highline)

the original ambition of droog was to identify and showcase talented dutch, and later foreign, designers, and to stimulate discussion about the real content of the profession. millions of euros were invested in opening a large, expensive shop in new york - an initiative of renny ramakers - while the philosophy of droog was pushed to the background. the shop in new york implies, almost inevitably, that from now on profitability will depend on the development of only large, expensive products.’ - GB

A “supermarket clinic” by architecture grad student Laura Lee in Laura Kurgan’s advanced studio, Columbia University, (“design and crime: form follows failure”). I’m starting to collect samples of architects conceptualizing crisis and failure.
