Session 6th Nov

This is Robert Venturi having fun in Las Vegas. I suppose because I feel very close to the work read today, you might ask the question on your blog- 'If Paul likes this stuff on Vegas so much, what do I make of it?' 
The poem Howl is the text for this session. It is readily downloadable. I would also like students to spend a little time looking at the work of JG Ballard and William Burroughs to help us with what is potentially an unusual reading of the work of Archigram.

  2. very interesting blog Paul,
    last year during your Theory 2 seminars I wrote a blog (even though an essay was set for our coursework), I find it very interesting that this year the coursework is a blog! Maybe you would like to take a look at our work at boidus and we could collaborate in some way?

    we have some very interesting discussions going on and a lot of them are related to theory / archigram and my design process during my final year at LSBU
