Poor old George , lets hope there is a Teddy Heaven ... have you designed a tomb for him ?
In a 1910 essay, Architecture, Loos wrote that "...only a very small part of architecture belongs to the realm of art: The tomb and the monument"...
but Pallidio said that about 5oo years earlier , A Teddy monument ?
...attached some teddies relaxing in Hackney .....David Greene
I think his eulogy would read something like:
George has been beloved
and carefully handled during his time....... Maybe his new
configuration will open up a new london garden adventure. I don't think he's quite ready for the tomb though. - Lucy Moroney

AALAWuN responds to anything
that is put in front of it .
Probing and asking questions
in an informal ongoing context
Augmenting unassessed student
driven projects .
As a response to the current
conditions of the AA ,a globally dispersed
community, AALAWuN sees the silent buildings in the square as a
mothership , and has a weekly blog documenting
constructed situations in the square
informed by transmissions to the mother
ship in the form of 2min. audio postcards from members of the absent crew .
This large poster expresses
the open ended working method of LAWuN ,
it is not a collage , more of an evolving ,unfolding accumulation by
different people at different times that
is definitively neither complete or incomplete , at this point it is also a proposition to ask what future
do you want for the AA and to consider
it as a design project in which
managerial protocols serve the ideas ,
concepts for a new AA ?
The many synonyms for the
word proposition describe the design
process, theory , idea , premise, postulation , concept
This poster is a landscape in a state of continuous erosion
and additions , nevertheless it is essentially a proposition , for an evolving
year’s work whose subject is the AA ..
