Alexandria Mascot

August 4th, 2009

A huge crowd gathered at lunchtime at Electrolux to see Tetsuya’s cooking presentations which smelled so delicious it was lucky the results were handed out to the crowd at regular intervals to avoid a riot.

Elsewhere in the Electrolux showroom, Bang Design’s installation for The Project showed the versatility of Eco Panel and the new Ebony kitchen collection was on display, along with outdoor kitchen options and other new releases.

Space Furniture down the road was launching a number of new products from Europe including the new Crinoline series by Patricia Urquiola, while their Igloo Zoo yoghurt bar kept customers cool and collected, choosing from flavours such as kiwifruit, strawberry, passionfruit and chocolate covered goji berries.

Meanwhile, visitors who had visited the Arthur G exhibit at PYD warehouse were invited to stop by their showroom, in precinct six, featuring their range of upholstered furniture designed and made in Australia.

In this second part of the book review, we turn to the question of what architects can do in the face of crises from climate breakdown to alienation of place.
