i was thinking of programs last nite (after our discussion re. possibilities). here is a short list of programs i wished i considered when i was doing my thesis [program: a city for the dead (aka. cemetery) in downtown los angeles]:
- study and research center for gaudi's sagrada familia (or mies' barcelona pavilion) (or, le corbusier's maison curutchet)...
- museum for alexander calder (or jean tingueley) (or paul klee) (rothko) (turner) (xul solar)... etc.
- bathhouse (based on roman precedents)
- library for the blind
- housing for exiled communities (ie. children from darfur)
- conservatory and learning center for laban movement analysis dance (like this one) (or martha graham) or...
- a store for fnac in the u.s.
- a "church" for modern satanists [and not the heavy metal, pentagram drawing, sacrificing calves in the middle of some new hampshire forest kind]
- the "doubling" of any existing program - as long as the new program has to deal with the existing one as its double... [ie. doubling the library of the national university in mexico city]
- community center + gas station (a la wright broadacre city)
- origami inspired motel
- laundromat for the next millenium
