No Movie Night This Week

Just a reminder... there will be no movie night this week at Bela Dubby, as it is the fifth Thursday of the month. We will return to our regular schedule next week with Sergei Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin.

Re-Tooling

Look for Rockitecture. to be re-tooling itself in the couple months, with a fresh, new, ironically hip design, consistent posts and a return to its roots, whatever those where.

Because if I say it will happen, there is a .3% higher chance of it happening.

Man Push Cart :1/3 Movie Night @ Bela Dubby

Brian Dettmer, KSU CAED Spring Lecture Series

Multi-disciplinary artist Brian Dettmer is speaking this Wednesday as part of the AIAS KSU CAED Spring Lecture Series 2008. Should be quite good, if you can make it down (Thanks to a four hour real estate class, this blogger will not be. Crap, I just called myself a blogger...).

Dettmer is an artist who with incredible rigor and craft is able to manipulate objects to reveal hidden meanings and messages in quite powerful ways.

1/3 Movie Night @ Bela Dubby

Those of at LAUNCH are please to announce...


1/3 Movie Night at Bela Dubby in Lakewood, first showing this Thursday, February 7 at 7pm.

After talk last fall between people at both CUDC and at LAUNCH, we have organized a twice a month movie night as a laid back event with beer, coffee, spirited discussion, and the most attractive group of young designers this city has ever known.

If anyone has any recommendations for future movies, we are all ears. We're designers, not film experts. But thats kind of the point. Some weeks we will show bigger name movies that did very well commercially, some weeks old classics (such as the first week) and other weeks we will show documentaries that talk directly about subject matter relevant to urban design and architecture today.

The Living Lecture (poster)

Thanks to my 'connections' (thank you, connections!) I got the poster.

Also I should have word of the next lecture much sooner, so better planning ahead can take place for those of us on the 'North Coast'.

The Living Lecture

Just found this out from a friend of mine at OSU actually... The Living, who are based in NYC are supposedly lecturing tonight in Kent.

They are most known for their books Life Size Volumes I and II.

'A non-monograph about the possibility of an open source design process, the first volume of Life Size includes DIY directions for making a responsive kinetic system, an energy self-sufficient display, and a collapsible framing structure out of weak materials.' From Here

If anyone knows anything about this lecture (time, place in at kent) let me know.

I'm going to try to track some more info today...

ed: found some more info...

Date:	Thursday, January 31, 2008
Time:	7:30pm - 9:00pm
Location:	Michael Schwartz Center

Note... The lecture series run, so I'm assuming that is why word has not even gotten to CUDC, because the kids running it probably didn't think of sending hotcards up to Cleveland or to get word out to offices up here.

Ohio State Lecture Series + Other News + Notes

Ohio State's Knowlton School of Architecture is hosting a very fine looking lecture series this spring. If you can make the trek down to C-bus for any of these, you should. Two jobs and a thesis project not withstanding, I hope to attend a few.

Did not get word about these lectures until yesterday, which sadly means I will be missing the Keith Krumwiede lecture today.
I'm quite excited about the Tod Williams (of Williams and Tsien), Sylvia 'we do not need any more penis buildings' Lavin and Sam Jacob(of London's Fashion Architecture Taste, or FAT) lectures.

Also, I will try to track down some information about Carnegie Mellon's lecture series this spring as well. Toledo Glass Pavilion architect's SANAA lectured last night, which I was missed out on as well. SANAA also designed the excellent looking (in photographs anyway), New Museum in the Bowery, in NYC.

LAUNCH Cleveland is putting together a field trip to see the Toledo Glass Pavilion this Saturday morning as part of an ongoing 'Back Seat Architect' series of road trips.
