Presentation idea

Quick first note for tomorrow's tutorial...

Very rough, but could perhaps be an interesting starting point for a discussion.

Presentation idea


This whole project could turn into the website of the corporation that offers the cryonic suspension, that is, the cryonic institute itself. It would have a range of categories that could include 1) the history of cryonism, 2) the history of the building (maybe as a legacy of Philip Johnson?), 3) the cryonic process, 4) a film showing the formal development of the architecture, 5) a 3d walkthrough of the building,  6) am area where you can sign up to be frozen, 7) an interview with the director of the institute, 8) ‘photos’ of different rooms, 9) menus for the restaurant in which you have the last supper, 10) technical comments about the security of the building, how it’s guarded from earthquakes, etc. And so on, and so on. The final presentation would then be a click-through of the website, with printed plates to support the argument. Does this tie in with the unit agenda, or is it stretching things too far? I’ve heard of surprisingly few projects that have been presented in this way, which may turn it into an iconic presentation form (the obvious precedent examples being not only Matthew Barney's Cremaster Cycle films, but also Christian Waldvogel’s 2004 Globus Cassus project, which used to be housed on the web but now seems to have been taken down).
