Back to Sydney

Coming back to Sydney from Berlin I rediscovered a place full of colour.
Some weaving from Happy Talk House.

Magical

About to leave a part of Sydney after being here for 17 years. One of the things I will miss: walking home at night past the delightful, changing window of my florist neighbour.

Parasitic actions

New Territory Design Research talk at COFA, Sydney, 4 August 2011.
Richard Goodwin: parasitic actions for public spaces; in a series of rolling catastrophies (ie life) the city becomes more like nature.

What came out of it was this unexpected sense of optimism for the future—this way of thinking about the city.

My friend and work partner, Heidi Dokulil, also spoke with Liane Rossler about their new, soon-to-be-launched adventure in Pacific dialogues — Happy Talk. Please bookmark their holding page for events and workshops a little later this year in Sydney.
