Skype w/ JP Friday 21st Oct

Rationale for what I'm doing is strong for representing design.
Makes spatial in another dimension - multiple locations.

Life-size images/projections could highlight a non-fit to other people.
Pursue projection - where do I want it to be? Location conceptually linked to design etc. Bathroom would be problematic and require ethics probably.

How is it important that there is more than one venue? Projector?
> where do I stop designing? Is it developed to the exhibition?

Sitting situation would be better = better reaction of people are comfortable. Comfortable browsing blog. Standing - graze over.

What are the merits? Interactive - what does this challenge?
Why is it different - address this. Why it's important? Tailor-made. Online is modular systems.
Benefits have to be evident. Position against/relationship to mass-production.
Some industrial processes allow for individuality.

Anticipate the questions I will be asked. How do I say what I mean?

Bespoke.

Craft - automatically reflect the person because they had to make everything themselves. What did it mean?
Self - GSA - craft - why did I do it that way? Level of detailing - compare to DIY/mass-produced.
Anonymous design eliminated the craft. Arts & Crafts. Edward Ford - books (pl). Details of Modern Architecture vol 1 & 2. Request.
(book) What is a designer? Arts and Crafts & Modernist - between.
Intimus - Norman Potter - kitchen design. Simple and careful - writing about architecture. Facile.

Doc due 8th dec. Final design needs to be in  otherwise not a reflective doc.

Date - send new blog - trial. Need back up plan if it doesn't work.

If I come to Wellington early - say day before - JP might have time to test use of projector.
