After the stellar (it was stellar, and I don't use the word often) presentation by Phil, we discussed the best way to frame any greening initiative regarding the new 65 Fifth Av. Obviously, a sparkly green and fantastically innovative building/statement/educational device is a no-brainer for those of us who have given the situation some thought. But there are indeed hurdles (both psychological and practical) to overcome if we want to see this building actually take a meaningful shape. We spent the bulk of the hour identifying these hurdles, then brainstormed (brain category five hurricaned!) on the best ways to circumvent them.
So kudos to Phil and kudos to all in attendance. Cant wait for the next one...
And yeah...
Monday, April 9, 3:00 p.m.I don't want to sound incredulous but... I think it is appropriate that we attend this meeting.The New School, Theresa Lang Community and Student Center, 55 West 13th Street, 2nd floor.
A town hall meeting is scheduled to acquaint the university community with the work of the IDEO, a preeminent design and innovation firm that has been invited by The New School to advise in the design of a new building at 65 Fifth Avenue. A presentation and conversation with IDEO designer Fred Dust will take place, so the firm can get a better sense of The New School as a community and understand how we use our spaces, things that will factor into the design of the new building.
Hot f**king balls, I think it is appropriate that we attend this meeting!
