Coloco 's auto-consuming cart (see also NL Architects' moving forest ) We open a new thematic today called SMALL. SMALL is a scale accessible to anyone who decides to act on his environment. This act can be assimilated as an expression of ideas and identities of his authors within public space. We don't really know yet where we are going with this, but we'll discover that all along this month !

Jason De Marco / Leisurescape / tutored by Guy Zucker in UPenn This is the end of the architecture schools' thematic and thus time for conclusion. First, I have to say that I appology for choosing so many English and American schools when obviously some schools from South America, Asia and Africa would have present a lot of interesting various topics... Unfortunetely, these schools seem to be not so interested into external communication and I could not really get the chance to find anything on their websites. I do understand that, by doing that, I am cheering the western world's system, that is why as a conclusion, I would like to gently tackle some issues. This month would have shown how inventive and bright are all these students who work to create what they develop in their minds. However, some schools seem to take advantage of this imagination to promote their system of education avoiding to put the emphasis on the student. As a good example, Zaha Hadid's studio in

Anemorphic Airship Docks is a student project designed by Adam Holloway (Oxford Brookes University) which compeats for 2008 RIBA's President's medals... The airship promotes ecology in travel. The autonomy of a lighter-than-air vehicle evokes a vision of a future free from the pollution of the industrial world.As a piece of responsive architecture the Anemorphic Airship Docks reflect the ethics and aesthetic of the airship. By creating an autonomous mechanism, moving yet stable, unpredictable yet controllable, the airship port offers passengers an in-between space, not as fully detached from the ground as the airship, but still apart from it. In becoming a literal engine of construction for the city around it the tower acts as an analogy for change and communication. The unpredictable nature of the wind powers the human narrative of the city.
