this is a continuation of the discussion started in let moda roll!.
hmmmm
i don’t know [yet] how to present my ‘drawings’, if they are supposed to be pages in a brochure or some other kind of ‘artifact’; they are supposed to represent the lack of possibility of personal fragments (urban glitches) in atl.stn - these slugs are holes to be filled [by rabble].
if they are printed and tapes to the wall in a row next to jt’s row of unrelated dwgs, the presentation might look queer or even more confusing than the picture of bison in marquis.
i don’t know what gray is doing.
is my misunderstanding of the presentation all my fault?

i’m going to consolidate some of the images i have placed in other posts, with the intention not to cut others out of ‘my’ images, but rather to make the story arc easier to follow than a path that jumps from ‘the corpse’ to ‘let moda roll!’ with neither warning nor atlas.

although i dont think this needs to go on the wall, i would like to start a thread for submissions of fliers, posters, stickers, ads, tags, scraps, pleas, propositions, admonitions, etc, that can be affixed to the wall in support of our personal impressions of what this project is about.

my thought it is that we could either divide up these images, or each take all of them, printed on some arches as a base, and operate, providing depth, hiding places, tunnels, new views, destruction, copulation, inferno, tenebre, knived fingers, grottos, richness, darkness, blinding light, black gloved garroting, serpent handling, arcades, terraced farming, isolation cells, and landslides. This exhibition seems to be about lifestyle change. Other than making Glenwood Avenue not a 4 lane road with no sidewalks, I dont think I have any ideas other than trying to give people more fanciful, personal, stimulating spaces that dont patronize them, underestimate them, subdue them, and keep them safe.

Following a fruitful reconnaissance mission to Atlantic Station please find a shitton of high resolution photos for your working pleasure in this gallery.
Grey is still having trouble with his account it seems.
I will mention a couple of bullets we discussed. The wealth of back of house space is overwhelming, most of it is still not being used because the project is not complete, yet it appears to have all been built up front. If the project fails, it will remain deserted. The place is gritty, but only with the assistance of the neglected back of house and hinterland spaces that are distant from Central Park, we found syringes, condoms, graffiti, urine, plants growing through pavers, piles of pavers, abandoned vehicles, and roads to nowhere. The ‘downtown’ is not integral to the development, most of the housing is located in a binary relationship with the downtown, the commercial core is highly concentrated, its scale is falsely compressed, and has no relationship to the development at large, the new target and the ikea seem surprisingly to be the elements that are integrating themselves into the scale of aggregate that ATL STN is working with. The commercial/retail is incredibly theatrical and insular. ATL STN is insular, the perimeter is very Westworld or Disney with a loop of services around the perimeter, unfortunately here that perimeter faces the rest of the city of Atlanta.

We need to respond to this before 1pm today:
Details of proposal should be entered in this area. Include proposed dimensions, format of presentation, take-away items if any, and power or lighting requirements. If you are presenting current projects, please describe how the projects you have chosen fit into one or more of the 3 categories above or address issues pertaining to the health of inhabitants or user groups.
I told Ed it would be nebulous but maybe all of us just quickly throwing out some thoughts and prescriptions will give some focus to our thinking. Get on it, if you can.

the inaugural meeting for moda2007 took place this weekend in west philadelphia. the other inaugural meeting is scheduled sometime next week at eats, perhaps? adherence to the ‘program’ was discussed; it was determined to let the work roll and compose a text appropriate to moda’s concerns. the work will be divided up into three boards; speaking for the philadelphia workers, we plan on taking atl.stn images assigned by jt and inserting some image/drawing fragments from elsewhere - you can expect to see pretty much the same shite seen in ‘history of america’.
a few preliminary maps were composed; view them now to guide the three branches of work:
