A final collection of archive links before accepting the need to get on with 2007 and write something new.

The podcast (which so far contains only two episodes):

• Episode 2 - ArchWeekWalk
• Annotated walk to my office
• Episode 1 - Jencks and Erskine
• Erskine puts the world (and critics) to rights

And other topics…This is the journal of an architect, rather than an architecture journal, so occasionally you get entries like the ones below:

Recipes

• Spoon the mix into the ring
• Integral part of book-coffee-cheesecake maneuver
• Eves Pudding
• Domestic goddess Be-Ro style

Misc.

• Rodeohead and John Peel
• The mighty Peel uttering my humble name
• More Tea Mr Bond?
• The key to MI5
• Flash Mob Birmingham
• ‘Twas me
• We note, you blog
• Art baton
• Diagramming, Climbing
• Diagrams, mapping and me with my shirt off

Following on from the podcast to cover your journey to Birmingham, here’s an annotated walk to the office for tomorrow’s ‘Open Practice’ day. Either follow it by walking the streets or be lazy and download a copy of Google Earth then use it to open this file:

Alternatively, add a ‘network link’ to the above url and get the live version that I may update occasionally.

I’ve recorded some audio to go with it but I’ve got to try and reduce some of the wind noise on it before I publish it. Howling gales between the buildings played havoc with my microphone.

Update:

Audio guide to the office:

Podcast Episode 2 - ArchWeekWalk and an ArchWeekAnecdote.

Upload to your mp3 player and follow the directions.

See you tomorrow today!

no, 2 self podcast episode 1:

Charles Jencks and Ralph Erskine - Participatory Politics and Organic Design (mp3 file - 17Mb).

It was only a matter of time before I got seduced by the idea of doing a podcast.

This will hopefully be a two part program (if I manage to finish part 2 next week!) that will lead us up to Open Practice Day next Friday. The proposal is that you listen to them on the way to the office when you come and visit.
