Thus far (2 episodes in), it's about mainstream pop culture design. Celebrity designers, consumer culture. Being suspicious of such things, but also enjoying them, I have found the show surprisingly insightful. The format pairs a story of the designer's career thus far, with the story of an immediate design challenge - illustrator Christoph Niemann looks back on his studies, arrival in NYC, and moving to Berlin, while designing an 'augmented reality' cover for <i>The New Yorker</i>.<br /><br />What I particularly enjoy is the view inside the work day and work space. Looking at the books, the pencils, what kind of desks other people like. And the small observations on working methods. There are also moments of vulnerability, failure, and uncertainty - and brief discussions of how these were overcome. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bjarke Ingels has an episode coming up; will be interesting to see what kind of narrative is presented there.<br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The usual feeding of designer myths occurs - it's a slick production, but not entirely without nuance. A pretty easy watch for the end of a day.</span><br />

I cannot speak for everyone in involved in the project - many people have contributed their efforts in different ways, and there is little formality to the process.<br>
<br>
Still, I want to offer some commentary on what is happening (and not happening).<br>
<br>
firstly, here's the talk - <a href="https://vimeo.com/181347719">Ben Caine presenting at 3 Over 4 Under 2015</a>.<br>

<br>
yesterday [Sat 18.06.2016] I went to see the BIG 2016 Serpentine Pavilion in Hyde Park. I was interested to see a BIG project in the flesh, as Bjerke Ingels seems to personify the post-Koolhaas/Hadid era of globalised sell-out, image focused, flippant architecture-as-fashion starchitecture that we all know and hate (with a touch of envy of those glamorous jet setting lifestyles).<br>
<br>
It is bombastic in scale, and very aesthetic, but I was pleasantly surprised to find it still nuanced, and democratic - as Ingels has described BIG's intent. It's a lot of polycarbonate. It did not appear to be perfect; two men were abseiling, sticking panes into the boxes with copious amounts of sealant - assumedly this would have been more easily and neatly accomplished in the workshop, so must be the result of some afterthought. The positioning of these panes deep within the boxes cut down reflection to the point where they are literally invisible from further than a few metres. I'm reminded of criticisms of the (non-Utzon) glazing scheme on the Sydney Opera House - a significant visual barrier rather than transparent curtain.<br>

<br />
The Blue Archive is under development. Early release material includes a talk David Weir, of David Weir Architects, at the 2014 edition of MERGE Emerging Architects 'On Impact', and a 'project portrait' of Jonathan Lake's North Perth House, which was a popular site at Open House 2014.<br />
<br />
The archive project has seen speakers and event organisers including MERGE, Curtin University, CODA, the Office of the Government Architect, CODA, the DIA and Gresley Abas generously allow us to film their talks, and video documentation of a number of exhibitions, installations, and built projects. We hope this will contribute to the strengthening of architectural culture in Perth through the availability of quality, engaging, primary source information delivered with high production values. The intent is to assist with the discovery and sharing of good ideas through the cataloging and of the work, thoughts and personalities of architects and allied practitioners, to allow well informed conversations and creative works.<br />
<br />
In due course a website will be launched, with fully catalogued metadata on the speakers and events. Material will be progressively added as editing is completed and permissions received. <br />
<br />
In the meantime, we hope you enjoy these first two videos:<br />

Notes on the Perth Samplings held by the Office of the Government Architect, in this case in collaboration with CEFPI.<br />
<br />
Governor Stirling High School by Donaldson + Warn<br />
High school for 1000 students on a small (aprox half size of usual) site. Replaced multistory buildings built in the 50's, key design drivers were responding to geographical context of river and historical (both indigenous and European) Guildford, build programming (proposed staged construction was challenged by design team) and accommodating an existing school community with established teaching programs and social contexts. The buildings have a strong civic character (as you can expect from D+W), sharply lined forms and appear generous in spatial diversity and finessed forms at the level of interaction - i.e. building elements forming seating, operable walls being deployed in carefully thought through scenarios. Materials included reduction fired bricks, which I knew about but was unsure why this firing process is employed - now I know it brings more variety of colouring with blues and purples. Brad Day presented in detail, and talked about difficulties as well as successes, which is important.<br />
<br />
JSR Kindergarten<br />
Innovative timber building techniques, efficient 18 x 18m square plan, simple structure. Resourceful and clear approach, without complication appears to have delivered a fun and successful outcome which was not an obvious solution but performs well (by Tom Brooking's account, and it sounds as though post-consultation has been worthwhile). Interior of building appears a great place to inhabit, particularly for young children.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Loads of artist-run initiatives have popped up in Perth in the last year or so. What exactly are they and what do they bring to the local arts industry? What is it like to work with/for one? Advice for young artists just starting out. The pros and cons of ARIs vs traditional art galleries. How do you get involved or find representation as an artist? What does it means to be an emerging artist in WA and what part do galleries or studios play within this as a whole?</i><br /><br /><b>What's the deal with ARIs</b> was the first of two artist talks hosted by Buratti Fine Art as a part of BRIGHT LIGHTS, SMALL CITY, a showcase of contemporary art from early-career creatives in Western Australia.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Panel:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anna Dunnill (Paper Mountain)<br />Sarah Rowbottam (Proximity Festival)<br />Shannon Williamson<br />Claire Bushby (Heathcote Museum & Gallery)<br />Alina + Danni (Shiritori Press)<br />Jessie Mitchell (Nedlands Tresillian Centre)<br />Dan Bourke<br />Dale Buckley (Moana)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As a young architect with an interest in fine arts I sat in the audience keen to learn: </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">a) what exactly are ARIs [ar-ees]? and b) how do ARIs affect me?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />An Artist-Run Initiative can take many forms but typically has some of these key factors: 1) it is managed by artists, 2) operates on a non-profit basis, 3) has a continuing program of activities <i>(Australia Council of Arts 2013)</i>. We're talking gallery space: traditional/pop-up/collaborative. Think Heathcote Museum & Gallery/Paper Mountain/Mona.<br /><br />The Australian government offers grants of up to $20,000 (Victorian ARIs can apply for up to $25,000) designed to support ARIs to present programs and/or activities that enrich the diversity of artistic practice in Australia and enable artists to make new work. To an outsider like myself who knows nothing about the costs of an ARI this sounds great, however the number of grants available are limited and tend to fall towards the eastern states. See the official list of ARIs nationwide at <a href="http://crawl.net.au/index.php/artist-run-initiatives">http://crawl.net.au/index.php/artist-run-initiatives</a>.<br /><br />It was interesting to witness the panel focus a fair fraction of the discussion on funding, or lack thereof. The impression I got was that even the opportunity offered by federal government funding and a supportive peer environment combined are not enough to aid the maintenance, let alone growth of ARI's in Perth. I was pleasantly surprised to hear the optimism towards the potentials of corporate funding and interdisciplinary collaboration. Then I was taken aback at hearing architects referred to in both these instances. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised as I was once guilty of the misconception about architects being wealthy professional magnates. This was obviously before I started my degree and spent time with real architects. Although I work for one of the few corporate firms in Perth there is a clear distinction between practicing corporate architecture and having a financial capacity to provide corporate funding. It is flattering that our profession is perceived as capable of providing both monetary and artistic support...or is it because of this perceived financial capability that artists would be willing to endure our collaboration?<br /><br />As the discussion progressed from rent and administration overheads to the pro's of a non-artist-based board/committee, focus shifted towards the physicality of ARI spaces. Dan related a challenging experience he had faced with a space that presented a undesirable size and layout combined with unusual interior finishes. Dale shared his collaborative process with Spacemarket architects-educators-visionaries Nic and Beth of transforming a neglected space into the dynamic gallery-studio-cafe that is now Moana. Jessie expressed her excitement in the potentials of an "empty" council space. It sounds to me that some artists like white/black boxes while others are game to collaborate with other designers to feed off the existing character of a space to enrich the art making/viewing experience.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The second artist talk <b>IN FOCUS: Fine Art and Commercial Photography in WA</b> will take place at 3pm on Saturday October 5th. The panel of local photographers will discuss </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>What does it mean to be a photographer in this isolated state? What are the opportunities for local photographers in both a fine art and commercial sense? Advice for younger photographers starting out. How do you get your work out there? Digital vs. film. A general discussion about the medium.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<br />
<b><span style="color: #444444;">Range of speakers</span></b><br />
The DIA seems a diverse organisation; today we heard from politicians, public servants, architects, furniture designers and fashion bloggers - many would qualify for more than one of these labels, and others besides.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #444444;">Beth George and Nic Brunsdon</span></b><br />
Great drawings, keen observers, careful eloquent discussion, support of students' work, support of colleagues' work, talking about their heroes (James Turrell, Raimund Abraham), crowdsourcing - and gave a good talk on their own work.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><b>Bernard Seeber</b></span><br />
He thinks he's a dying breed; the avowed functionalist. He does criticism really well - biting, starightforward but always gentle and understanding - no snark. Considering that everyone is always looking to get more from less, Bernard's thoughts on the design and making of buildings to me seem to offer a way forward in a world which often no longer wants luxury.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #444444;">Politicians and Public Servants</span></b><br />
Well done DIA, Scott Ludlum (Greens Senator), Colin Walker (Dept Culture + Arts) and Martin Mileham (City of Perth). I felt that this is what public dialogue and democracy is made of; people in government doing a good job, talk about their intent, not afraid to discuss their failings critically, and celebrate successes. Government is not always that interesting; it's complicated, slow-moving and covers the basics - but these were some good talks, and Martin gave robust contributions to the Speaker Panel group discussion at the end.<br />

At risk of overloading the simple <a href="https://vimeo.com/65068288">60 second film RJ and I made for CineCity</a>, I would like to discuss some ideas about collaboration and film which I (I don't speak for RJ) have been thinking about as a result of the process.<br />
<br />
We thought the brief pointed toward a minimal approach (as it allowed no tripods, no effects - even a minimum of/no edits to the footage, depending on whether you're reading the mobile version or not), and so we approached it as a process of 'finding' footage by filming interesting scenes on our phones, and discussing them, and their relationship with the brief.<br />
<br />
RJ found an interesting passage through the Cottesloe sundial, and at this point we decided to structure the collaboration split along vision/sound lines. RJ produced number of iterations over 3 visits, we chose the 60 secs which we felt communicated our ideas about material and immaterial; I discussed my ideas for the soundscape which was intended to intensify the ideas communicated by the video, and add an extra layer of allusion.<br />
<br />
explanatory text provided to jury¹:<br />
<br />
<i>The immaterial and material worlds operate simultaneously; under a diffuse overcast sky, a sundial is defused, its assembly is brought to the fore. A journey through this assembled space, back to the unarranged landscape of limestone outcrops, sand and sky. </i><br />
<i>Collaborative project operates around division of approach; vision found and captured by RJ on his phone in having sought existing paired environments; assembled and unassembled conditions. Soundscape constructed as a response to vision and in context of brief by FJE.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
To my mind, this competition attempts to induce an element truthfulness in the portrayal of the experience of a place. There is a lot of discussion at the moment centred around the influence of magazine and blog photographs on design and consumption of architecture; video is certainly on the rise, and is a medium with greater potential for seduction and distortion of reality than still photography - but also, I argue, greater potential for the truthful capture and communication of a spatial experience.<br />
<br />

What does it mean to return home after focused travels? What meaningful contribution can be made when returning with understandings found elsewhere or between places? <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Go Away and Come Back: an exhibition of architecture, travel, research, experience</i> spirals around these questions proposing an investigation through the work and travels of established and emerging architects.<br />

<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Architectural pilgrimages, study trips and grand tours have a significant place in the historical understanding of architectural education. Now, the internet grants access to the other side of the world from a home interior. Is the value of study trips questioned by the proliferation of online architectural media? With the increasing convenience of travel has the status of the grand tour shifted within the education of architects? Has inexpensive digital photography diminished the way experiences are recorded? Given the change in global economics, and a shifting emphasis away from old colonial centres, is there still relevance to the overseas internship?</span><br />
