URBAN MURAL

I may be incredibly boring and a bit despondent (at times!) But I have a great excuse, I am an aspiring planner.

    Waterways sound Map for London-
I heard the sound from Deptford Creek which is around the corner from me. Interestingly I have never heard much of that sound before- due to all the local noise mainly traffic nearby.
 Is your area on there? Do you recognise any of the sounds? …Click the link above and have a go!

    TOMAS SARACENO

    Tomas Saraceno’s suspended environments create networks of habitable platforms floating in the air.  These airborne utopias join like clouds, and bind together forming aerial cities in a constant state of evolution.

    Through the creation of such spaces, Saraceno challenges notions of nationality and the built environment.  His installations both grow to encorporate the environment that surrounds them, and simultaneously strive to create a new, evolutionary means of inhabiting space.

    How are artists effected by the idea of a utopia, how are they representing them? Tom Saraceno believes utopia will be in the sky amongst the clouds in this installation.


    How are planners affected by ideas of utopia and how are they expressing them in policies and projects?..I’m not sure, but this brings me a sense of joy and inspiration to work even harder to achieve better outcomes

    Revolution is based on land. Land is the basis of all independence.

    Land is the basis of freedom, justice, and equality

    Answer:

    No… Well actually some are. I’m not officially a planner- are you and if so are you boring?
