Its kind of a cool gadget - and a step in the right direction.

    jeg ved sgu ikke med det her. jeg synes måske det bare er lidt gordon mc revisited? nu med motor. om han gerne vil ta den videre så visst, men jeg synes ikke det her er nok. hvad med at arbejde med forskellige hastigheder i rotationen? hvad nu hvis det var noget andet på indsiden? give me something!!

    var forresten til en meget inspirerende foreläsning med superflex: "i think the moment we stop to disagree, there is no longer any point for us working together".

    one of those steps, where when you take another step, you end up exactly where you started

    jeg antager vi alle er g-m-c fanboys, og jeg vil bare si at utsnittet i dette eksempel i det minste er meget smukt valgt ut

    filmen er også knasende velutført

    all hail the american knight

    It is GMC revisited, and I totally agree that it would be nice to get something more from the expenses it must have cost to built it.

    To quote Magnus: "one of those steps, where when you take another step, you end up exactly where you started" - I think that one is actually quite spot on, except from what it tricked in my mind.

    It is a bit of the GMC reference. And an bit of the idea of a moving piece of facade. But certianly it is also the idea that this classic Liverpool office building could be one big (Bjarke Ingels Group ?) Rubik's cube with ever changing relations between the smaller cubes.
    A kind of randomizing programming tool. The aesthetics of dust crystallized in programs and manifested in building parts.

    a house as an ever-changing rubiks cube.
    this detour is much appreciated.

    i am also reminded of various OMA projects from our friends the 80s and 90s.

    also, this

    not to mention, the recent reconfigured plattenbau projects of the ddr. old structures finds new meaning.

    seen as a container for content, here i propse a specific case: a human being and his cats.
