Context
We are interested in the narratives that can emerge from a particular place.
We like the village weaver bird and his site specific building techniques.
Orientation reminds us what time of the day it is. Mr sun and his light are our friends.
Something old, something new.
Theatrical Topography. Learning from landscapes.
A view. Seeing or being seen?
An event
Luncheon of the Boating Party, 1880-81, Pierre Auguste Renoir
An event will help us to design a structure with a function in mind. Maybe a party?
For example, it could be:
A place for sitting, standing, talking, listening, sharing, laughing, singing, eating, drinking, viewing, being viewed, communicating + celebrating.

This project by Broken City Lab attempted to hijack and transform communicative efforts between Windsor and Detroit in a very literal way. It is like a facebook semaphore tower.
Maybe coming on too strong.

The poster attached to our Communicating Cities easa010 workshop proposal
Hello there. Welcome to Communicating Cities.
Hello. This is a joint venture of Luke and Simon.
This blog is for developing our thoughts and plans for the Communicating Cities workshop at easa010 (the European Architectural Students Assembly). We hope that it grows beyond easa, and we’re excited to see where that will be.
I, Luke, hope that it is interesting, I hope it works, and I hope that we can at least remain friends.
