Our blog has been needing an update. Rest assured, in the absence of posting anything we have been hard at work on the project we have now shortened to “Fish.Brew. Minneapolis”. Today was the midterm review. Without elaborating too much, the review went well and the feedback was productive for us. The jury was engaged in what we feel our project is concerned about – namely, how can architecture challenge the current nature of production and consumption processes through a saltwater fish farm and microbrewery on the same site, on the river in Minneapolis. How architecture can engage the public throughout the process of production and enrich the experience of consumption and how that engagement extends to a site so that the river might become a place for the community once again. We’re pretty tired right now so I think i will go ahead and post images of the work with more explanation to follow soon (we will be working on our written summaries).
