SHOWstudio: Blog: Lovely, luminous new LASALLE

Lovely, luminous new LASALLE

By Penny Martin, 11:43 Thu 16 Aug 2007

Diehards may recall my minor obsession with the greedy ghosts this time last year when external examining in Singapore. For the past 3 days, I have been sitting in the excellent viewing platform of one of these upper classrooms in the brand new, RSP and Hugh Dutton-designed LASALLE campus, which opened to students on Monday, again poring over MA projects and conducting vivas. Design bliss.

Until, that is, I came across a webcam shot of the SHOWstudio premises in a postgraduate 'Design Process Journal', featuring an unposed shot of this writer! Note to self: what constitutes an informal chat over lunch with your colleagues for some equals 'research' to others...and watch that talking-whilst-you're-eating thing!

Everything fell into clarity when giving a college-wide presentation this afternoon. Switched-on fashion students rocked up with magazines featuring all their favourite SHOWstudio projects and on being informed that they could make their own Viewer Profiles, they politely told me they knew that. Because they already had!

good luck with your findings of greedy ghosts,
they usually appear when there are joss sticks in sight,
or pretty girls in sequins singing a hokkien(chinese dialect) song.

Student in lasalle ( the one with weird blond/blue hair).

I didn't need to go far, there was a whole shrine set up in the car park across from the school after my talk! Here's a picture...

And now I have a task for you, SL. I forgot to take a picture of your censored magazine cover. Can you attach one to this message for me, so i can show Nick? (Or email me it)

Haniah, it's good to hear from you: you must have written whilst I was on the plane back to London? Your first image of the astroturf is definitely the bestest (in my opinion!) but it was great to see the installation in G503 up there too!
