Manifesto

sorry but the resolution (at least on my screen) makes it totally illegible (and my eyes go cross-eyed)...

lets find a way to repost it (so that the graphics and so forth are maintained) so that everyone can read into your goals.

now that i've read the printed copy, here are some reactions. first, i am curious of what the 1-3-9 exercise will bring out in yours.

you have many great points and concerns... it is hard to see how they are all connected (and not just a rant) and what "floats up to the top" in importance. as you probably already know, each bolded/colored statement could be a thesis/project on their own. so, the range of issues - recognition, filtering, psychological, spatial, anti-imposition, etc. - should find a guiding thread or one should be chosen as the most expedient. they are all good directions, the trouble is choosing.

second, the statement also seems to have little connection to the manifesto (ie. the relationship of suburbia + urbanism). although, it seems to me, there might be ways of mediating both positions (i think of, for instance, some projects by lewis, tsurumaki, and lewis as attempting to do that).

and, finally... the recyclable/recycling issue... is that still important? [it appears only marginally in these documents]
