 I would like to look at how ideas of tangible and intangible histories and cultural 'matierals' can be considered, interrogated, and reimagined, through strategies other than typical museum and/or collection-related, authoritative positions.
-... elaboration as keyword/terms
+I'm thinking laterally about the idea of architecture. As a starting point I've done some pencil drawings that are based on Walking Tours of German cities, traced from Lonely Planet guide books. The idea of being led is something I'm interested in; perhaps being directed through space, or being led more generally with movement itself becoming a form of architecture.
-* intangible / tangible
-* material / immaterial
-* public space
-* 'domains'
-* culture / history / heritage
-* lateral thinking around the idea of architecture
-As a starting point I've done some pencil drawings. They are based on Walking Tours of German cities, from the Lonely Planet guide book series. Below are Weimar and Dresden. The line follows the route of the Walking Tour, all other details are absent. I'm interested in the idea of directing, and being directed through space. Movement itself becoming a form of architecture.

-During the next weeks I will undertake a number of loose experiments around the idea of ''' 'barrier free' culture and heritage''' sites. Particularly interested in intangible, immaterial cultural qualities.
+A piece of video I found on Youtube. After working with Christine Hill I was quite interested in cusine and market places. Ideas of sharing. I like the way that the camera in this video is passive but also plots the area quite purposefully.

-Thinking about the art historical context of some of the woodland and lake areas outside of Dresden. These areas were of course frequented by artists involved in German Expressionism, such as [[wikipedia:DievBrücke|Die Bruecke]] and the [[wikipedia:Fauvism |Fauvists]].

-Interested in the intangible elements of the New Zealand landscape, including Maori and Polynesian mythology and other non-material concepts (such as [http://www.maoridictionary.co.nz/index.cfm?dictionaryKeywords=whakapapa&search.x=0&search.y=0&n=1&idiom=&phrase=&proverb=&loan= whakapapa] and [http://http://www.maoridictionary.co.nz/index.cfm?dictionaryKeywords=mauri&search.x=0&search.y=0&n=1&idiom=&phrase=&proverb=&loan= mauri]) and extinct species. These elements are not necessarily mutually exclusive. For example, the evocation of certain extinct species, also evokes a pre-historic or pre-European history as well as the modern-day mythology that these species have come to be a part of; including the fantastic and bewildering sounds of the great Haasts Eagle.

-Waitangi Park is an urban renewal project in Wellington which has successfully re-introduced a wetland ecosystem. This includes the introduction of plant life and water, and the releasing of eels, fish and other living organisms to attract bird life.
+Waitangi Park is an urban renewal project in Wellington which has successfully re-introduced a wetland ecosystem. This includes the introduction of plant life and water, and the releasing of eels, fish and other living organisms to attract bird life. I feel like this stirring of elements could also invoke aspects of local mythology. Perhaps to intertwine these tangible elements with a virtual knowledge base.
