paralympics » beijing airport / british council

Fri, 5 Sep 2008 12:41:18 +0800

...which is (to oversimplify) a british council project working with young people, hosted as part of the paralympics here in beijing.

oh - and just when you’d appreciated the scale of the beijing airport terminal, you take a shuttle train out and under a few more identical and identically sized terminals, eventually walk out into what you think is the outside, just to find yourself in another cavernous hall. scale... scale...

paralympics » beijing airport / james

Fri, 5 Sep 2008 12:28:20 +0800

beijing airport, on the other hand, doesn’t fail to impress with its sense of space and flowing roof, largely because its footprint is simply massive: no need to stack football pitches upon football pitches as in terminal 5. here is james, known for his work with the light surgeons, tasked with documenting the programme thats brought us out here...

paralympics » last seen pink

Fri, 5 Sep 2008 12:17:05 +0800

heathrow terminal 5 isn’t the celebration of modern british design it could have been, but oh my is the structure impressive. these joints really elegantly buttress the arching span of the terminal*, and they’re HUGE: thats a simply massive wedge of metal the pylons are bolted to. that, and the last time i saw them, they were bright pink prototypes in the foster associates exhibition at the pompidou...

*not that you can see it so much, much like stanstead the overall effect is often lost behind the cubicle-land at eye height

bbc blast » tapes, eh

Thu, 28 Aug 2008 08:31:45 +0800

i’d happily forgotten about things like this in an age of solid state. managed to rescue what was needed, but the last minute stress quite apart from the glitches wasn’t welcome at all.

i came to fully test all sorts of interactive patches, but the old classic had to be tried blatted up around the dome.

shambala » monome dj

bitbasic with his monome dj patch dj64: quite awesome. cheesy but brilliant: it even scrolls 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 to the beat if needs be.
