i would like to get this class scheduled if we can find someone interested in teaching. if you or someone you know would like to teach this class, please respond to this note or contact me.
hey everyone. thanks for the postings- it seems like a great discussion's brewing. i'm trying to come down to nyc to take part in the remaining sessions of the class, but i haven't been able to find a place to stay among out-of-town new yorker friends. i'm in bos so could make a pretty spontaneous move if anyone has any leads. with gratitude,

There is nothing less passive than the act of fleeing...Day 3: Site Observation
Exiting the Wall Street subway station, I am caught in the flow of tourists on foot that includes a Boy Scout troop in snake-like formation. Men in suits weave in and out. A young woman with an armful of folders and spiral notebooks clickety-clacks by me. It’s the latter part of rush hour so these are just stragglers heading home or heading out for a Friday night.
Turning onto Exchange Place, I notice a raised barrier in the center of the street; it is a small dark ramp with blinking lights. Passersby walk about paying no attention to the strategically placed obstructions determining their path.
great discussion today! as promised here are a few links about some of the projects we talked about at todays class:
An Architektur
10 Days for oppositional architecture (the An Architecture project in New York in Fall '09)

hey, I'm enjoying the discussion. This is probably old hat to some of you but when I mentioned affinity groups in relation to friendship and politics it seemed like not everyone knew what the hell I was talking about. This probably explains it better than I did:

Bonnano and other insurrectionists have written a lot about it. Hope none of you are cops! ;)
