WEEK 25:
They buy in too.
WEEK 26:
Things are heating up, but now there’s a third client. They’ll never let us do this.
Plan B shopping list: artichoke scraps (furniture), waste teak root (carpentry), ham bone, cascara, carbonized cow skull (multiple uses), etc...
WEEKS 26–40:
Our balloon building is perfect except in the eyes of the third client – Westminster’s landmark commission. They approve the structure, but obsess over its breach of the historic rooftop datum. We’ll draw it anyway... We’ll submit it anyway... They’ll reject it anyway...
WEEKS 40–52:
Detail, draw, fabricate, install, uninstall plan B. It’s a good plan B. Everyone likes it, but it’s not the project...
WEEK 52:
We have a hunch... more than a hunch. All new work must be finished in advance. It used to be enough to distinguish the built from the unbuilt and judge it all the same, but it’s much easier now to build what you want, and our task is to find a way.
