cameron sinclair
hopefully intro to Sinclair is/will be added below.
fell in love with his work. (a dialogue he had about uni, and why would you study architecture in a book rather than do it. so he had people building dr huts out of grasses, then when done, eating it, et al)
founder of:
then saw his offer for youth to build some sports site in community.
so this came about.. tunnel jam.
which ended up being more about the unwanted stress than the building the tunnel. maybe.
and now.. looking into working with harvest farm to make it happen via Bret.. et al. and Denver site.

your school design it (a student driven model) for higher edDGREE – Carol Coletta and Cameron Sinclair from DGREE on Vimeo.
how do you handle abundance with organization that are organized around scarcity
how does the world value something that is not a traditional degree
it’s not that people with degrees learned more (although they could have) it’s just how that’s valued
other businesses has unbundled this.. higher ed hasn’t
why don’t we outsource students to specified places – rather than have a whole departments for it.. ie: architecture philosophy outsourced.. the critical part – building buildings that don’t fall – leave with experts at uni
yes – put hs students into office buildings..
professional teaching math to those coming out of juvenile halls
how can we work on these hybrid places
underutilized spaces in cities…
anya’s question about credited ed relating to success – was it addressed?
the ability for mass specialization
for innovation to occur – colleges need a big push
anya at wec10

sept 2015 – tweet from Cameron:
How 5 min. transformed 2 schools for Syrian refugees into 30. Tks Joe + @sharonstone. real-leaders.com/sharon-stones-… pic.twitter.com/BTFRWRheNS
so contradictory (in my mind) to thinking of Cameron’s when i first fell in love with his work.. ie: (for architecture) not reading in a book.. but the people/culture living it doing it..
we need this thinking about Ed. instead of what we keep perpetuating as Ed. ie: how is more schools been working for us..? what if it’s not about more schools.. but rather… a nother way. rev of everyday life. vision versions.
needing you C.

nov 2015 – refugee camps
intro’d to Alejandro here – tweet from Cameron:
He’s right but policy dictates. We don’t have time for all talk + no trousers, approve the stateless pavilion. #d60 https://t.co/21GDXsnG0h
Original Tweet: https://twitter.com/casinclair/status/671364109397393408@dezeen
Refugee tents are a waste of money, says Alejandro Aravena: dezeen.com/2015/11/30/ale… pic.twitter.com/SphgjOoPMR
so … needing to call policy irrelevant – a distraction..
maybe the world’s bigger than this legal system – bunnie
deep/simple/open enough
perpetuate ness – perhaps why we have not yet.. no one wants to let go.. of their mission..
systemic ness
perhaps radical econ.. transition into leapfrog to a nother way..
