]]> http://douglaspaulson.com/blog/?feed=rss2&p=52 0 it’s december 13th, let’s get building… http://douglaspaulson.com/blog/?p=19 http://douglaspaulson.com/blog/?p=19#comments Tue, 15 Dec 2009 02:52:16 +0000 dylan g. http://douglaspaulson.com/blog/?p=19 We started out the afternoon by clearing all the junk that packed the top of the old band practice platform/wood shelves. The rain poured down over the corrugated steel roof and in through the thousands of holes and openings. We stayed dry, but cold — this time of year the warehouse is maybe, oh, 10 degrees cooler than is outside. Justin swears this was a warm day in there.

We’ve been selecting the wooden i-beams which will form the support structure for the future B.I.G. Museum. We plotted them out and tacked some in place temporarily. Jordi, Nate and Forrest put up the original wood shelves a couple of years ago, and they built the things level enough that we can lay the new joists across the top before we tie them together with 3/4″ plywood decking. We’ll finish by shoring up the sides with the wooden i-beams — thereby shifting the weight off of the old structure and floating the museum. More soon!

Your job is to use it.” With those flattened cabinets, scraps of debris, and chunks of stuff, we’ll build the Built it Green! Museum. It will become the platform from which our collaboration is launched.

Our job is to dig through B.I.G., to develop and impliment projects that augment it and its approach, its idiosyncrasies, and its ripple effects on New York City. The people of B.I.G. will offer ideas and challenges, and we’ll respond, much like B.I.G. has responded to the ideas and challenges offered by New York City.
