This display really embodies the whole intention of National Architecture Week and its manifestation here in Spokane. NAW week was designed to solicit the community for ideas regarding the potential of our built environment and to further develop a dialogue between Spokane and its architects. Your comparison in this blog between the mall installation and prism preoccupations reflects the potential of architecture and its ability to withdrawal a nostalgic response, while simultaneously instigating spatial inquiry from the user. In my opinion, it is the tension between those two (the nostalgic and the unknown) where architecture gets interesting. A Question Machine — that’s great description!

It was about six weeks of planning and design, followed by a week of laser-cutting and an intensive 24 hours of stapling which wrought what you now see in the main mall lobby. We all sincerely hope you enjoy it and come up with your own explanations as to what the form is "supposed to be" (a question we were unprepared for, yet asked approximately every five minutes during construction). We have learned quite a bit from our work with Jeff Hyslop and the rest of yAIAg, and I thank them for their inclusion of our class in Architecture Week.

Not an easy task for me. The Hyslop and friends piece kept me going. The scent of Cinnabon, plastic, and over priced cologne are the shoppers usual motivators. Years of market research has proven this. Installation art is over looked in this regard. The knowledge that I am surrounded by (or in the presence of) intriguing, professional art is all the motivation I need. Im super hyped that you wrote about this, I knew you would. Creativity is a type of learning process where the teacher and pupil are located in the same individual. -AE I spent nearly an hour shopping in River Park Square a few days ago.
