diverse references for some of you

Khim, I briefly talked about science fiction writer Philip K. Dick (he is the writer of many novels that have been adapted to films) - try to read J.G. Ballard as well.
Jean, the novel by Ballard with the singing plants is called Prima Belladonna.


Mim, again, i recommend to you the films of David Lynch. Especially Lost Highway (the house plays an important role in this film) and Mulholland Drive.


Pik, for building-machines, look at Archigram's work - and although more difficult to find, the drawings and buildings by the japanese architect Shin Takamatsu.
Remember the video The way things go, you can also look at artwork by Arthur Ganson and ZIMOUN. 
Maybe you could also watch the splendid and very important film Metropolis by Fritz Lang. A great reference anyway!


Penpen, the work of ZIMOUN (recording devices, archives, repetition...) might inspire yours - for its aesthetics also... 
If i recommend a reading for you, it is Borges and especially The Library of Babel in Fictions (short stories).
A very beautiful archive building is Yale University Beinecke Archive Library in the USA.


Munkong - you need to work very hard now!! Jean as well... to make up from last pin-up


Tao - case studies on molecular gastronomy might be of interest to you...


Title, look at the work of the architect Philippe Rahm.


Boss, the chinese artist Liu Bolin (we talked about his work last crit...) 
and since you were talking about camouflage and the army... read this crazy article!
But your project is something else than camouflage, about interdependence, relations rather than individuation (synergy - synergetics)... more interesting actually!


Khanoon and Ally, document yourselves on the type of building you aim to invent (plant nursery, factory... ) and start imagining yours from those known elements, requirements or principles of functioning.



ps TS
I still have not seen the installation construction drawings of one group... sorry to say grades will be reduced accordingly.
