- Health and safety? Guerilla gardening, not much can go wrong, it could in architecture.
- Why guerilla architecture? Would it benefit the community? Maybe. Workshops, a community focus etc. Opens up potential for bottom-up approach to design.
- Anti biopolitics? People are choosing where they want to live. Land values. Why should they not just take over pieces of land and have a free trade economy?
- Order&hierarchy. With these two things a system could be put in place, a beautiful structure designed and built, then taken down and reconfigured for the next place. Like the Spiegal Tent. It has identity, permanence- it’s always the same, beauty, but no fixed address.
- Maybe this does happen? It’s the same people, building the same camp, out of some of the same materials and the same over all master plan.
- So what makes this more than a bunch of travelers? The potential for design? The fact it is mirrored in fine art which is meant to be representing the middle classes? ie it’s happening in people’s minds and behind closed doors?
- How similar is this system to the Big Society? Surely the conservatives wouldn’t really want either as it stops the money moving.
- If these things are kept on the edge of art/installations they can be investigated ‘legally’ ie festival projects, psycho buildings, st. louis art gallery…
