a diary of work from my daily work at grimshaw architects





a film about gandy

Rion Willard [15:17]:
is anyone on our team doing any work?
Sean McAlister [15:17]:
no
what is 'work' eh?
Rion Willard [15:17]:
well
I've got a lot done
in the last couple of days
...
none of it airport related though
Sean McAlister [15:18]:
my blog is well fresh
Rion Willard [15:19]:
cool lets see
I send you mine
no one has ever read it
Sean McAlister [15:19]:
cool. exclusive.
Rion Willard [15:19]:
exactly
Sean McAlister [15:19]:
Sean McAlister [15:25]:
i see a handsome banquet for thought before me. but first up, those industrial megalith images and the perspective hinge drawings have my full attention
Rion Willard [15:27]:
;)ahh choisy is great. I am glad to see Joseph Gandy on your site! is the solaris project yours?
Sean McAlister [15:29]:
tis.
Rion Willard [15:30]:
cool
Sean McAlister [15:30]:
let's make a film about gandy.
Rion Willard [15:30]:
yes!
Sean McAlister [15:31]:
his story needs no exaggeration to be engaging. you're the first person to recognise his name then mention to me!
Rion Willard [15:31]:
he's been on my list of people to blog about for a while
Rion Willard [15:34]:
drawings of ruins
engage the brain
they are more interactive than those LED walls
Sean McAlister [15:35]:
imagine the film ultimately as a period trajedy; constructed to blur reality, mythicism and insanity, in the grace and shadow of soane.....
Rion Willard [15:36]:
nice
Sean McAlister [15:36]:
i'm with you on the ruins comment
Rion Willard [15:40]:
a film about Gandy would be fascinating
possible highlighting a darker side of soane
Sean McAlister [15:42]:
to visualise this visionary's tale would need time and care! damn it.
Rion Willard [15:43]:
you're on the perfect project for it then
Sean McAlister [15:44]:
i'd like to ask nicholas grimshaw about john soane. and about what interests him about gandy
i think it would be very telling
that our boss man is in the same role as soane had, this makes joseph gandy so close it's palpable!
Rion Willard [15:46]:
I wonder if someone in the CGI department would be a Gandy equilvalent
Sean McAlister [15:47]:
it would be fascinating to find some story so romantic in our office. but i'd be thoroughly disappointed that i hadn't managed to spot it
