the walker art center is one of the coolest things about minneapolis, and even if you don't live here, it's always worth checking out their blogs (even now, just hopping over there to grab a link i find this amazing artist margaret pezalla and her blog, ongoing...see what i mean?).
now i'm really excited to see that the walker's amazing design dept. has a blog. now they'll be an even more constant source for inspiration.
and speaking of the walker design dept and inspiration, they sponsor an ongoing series of lectures called drawn here. on november 8th the recently highly visible british architect david adjaye will be the guest.
david adjaye will no doubt be talking about his recently completed work in denver, a very green museum, the denver mca, but, it's the above pictured prefab in london called ed's shed that i'm seeing just about everywhere i look the last few weeks. it is fantastic isn't it?
i'm really glad i figured out a reason to write about this project here. i was so busy a few weeks ago when this was making the rounds online that i was going to skip it rather than appear "late to the party".
the house looks to me to be perfect..
and speaking of david adjaye and really stunning... why not bring olufar eliasson into the mix too, right?
the pavillion adjaye designed to house eliasson's piece "your black horizon" in venice in 2006 is really the thing that put him on my radar.
so, if you live here, it'll be great to hear him speak, and if you don't, i think the walker always posts a video of these talks at some point.
see you there.posted by matt
