A design is in many aspects a complex proposition,

 a list of similar words to proposition provided by Oxford Languages Could be a description of the many aspects of the design process

Perhaps the AA should see the search for a way to negotiate the opportunities now provoked by new media and the forced dispersal of its population as design project , a project to redesign a new AA.

 Presently the discussions seem to concentrate on managerial matters , important as they are we suggest they should be in the service of an idea , an argument , a premise in this case a theory about the role and learning strategies in a post Zoom AI culture. 

Nothing should be excluded , everything should be questioned .

By the way you thought that a fold was just a fold didn't you ..not for Deleuze 

He also interprets the world as a body of infinite folds that weave through compressed time and space.

So much for A sizes

Quarantina is Italian for forty , Forty days the period of lent , Forty days the time incoming ships to Venice used to have to quarantine . Apollo astronauts spent 21 days in quarantine on their return  to earth due to the fear of Moon Plague .Quarantine has its architectural legacy , the architecture of disease ? The Lazzaretto Vecchio in Venice , New York's North Brother Island Imprisonment ?   Apollo's trailer home ? Sme  like the Lazzaretto in Dubrovnik  have become Arts Complexes , a kind of  aesthetic quarantine ? Mostly now quarantine is  privatised in hotels with guards /.At last quarantine can now be seen as an industry .Architects , engineers , researchers , drug manufacturers can    Yet none of this can conceal the fear  of death . Moon Plague , Covid , ?

Wan Xuan Cheah is a student in Experimental 5, her postcard includes snippets from daily routines. Theo Spyropoulos of Minimaforms reads from Philip Roth ,American Pastoral ( The American Trilogy. #1) - a poetic reading; a reminder of the importance of getting it wrong.

 

 

LAWuN screen print an A1 Wan Xuan Cheah shadow location snapshot to the Roth rhythm . ... A process which reminds us of the virtues and possibilities of a lack of precision.
