mercredi, février 20, 2008 Many Rs make... I have no idea what Reduce, reuse, recycle.That was the mantra the Green For Life frog extolled when he spoke to us from his green lily pad. The poster on the noticeboards were forever proclaiming the virtues of the 3Rs, but like any typical response to environmentalism, schools never cut down on their use of paper, and especially never in innovative ways, such as cancelling school exams or homework blitzes. Recently, an exhibition noted that the philosophy has now been expanded to encompass nine Rs (in no order of merit):
utterubbish was recommended to me by an architect friend who was sure that I would love the practical side of construction and design. Part of the Singapore Design Festival 2007, it was a large exhibition held in the City Hall building (the one that overlooks the Padang, where everyone goes to take graduation photos for some reason.) Loads of good, and not-so-good stuff there.  A chair made from cardboard, stuck together in a row.  Like the sign says - it's a makeshift cardboard toilet, designed for disaster areas and park rangers. .jpg) I have NO idea. This just looked stylistically interesting. Strangely enough, it reminds me of Predator - where Arnie was fighting Predator, and they got stuck in the meat-packing district, and all this beef was hanging up obscuring them from each other - as well as providing an excellent location for a fight. .jpg) Yet another excellent idea - malleable cement! Also for disaster areas. It's called "CC" - something concrete, I think. This post is mainly for posterity's sake. Libellés : art, current affairs [Many Rs make... I have no idea what] |
