schemata architecture office: flat project
bois siliconéearlier, in june this year, japanese architecture studio schemata poured color epoxy
on the top board of school desks which were used in elementary schools. the now 'flat'
desks were before uneven due to time deterioration or scribbling. although the school
desks all have the same shape, they gradually gain individual character through the personal
items of the pupil, like a school bag or a hat. however, in this project, the individuality of
the desks is regenerated through colors, thanks to the craftsmanship and expertise
of nakamura shuhei. he reset the the unevenness to 'flat' with translucent color epoxy.
deep points are mirrored by dense colors and shallow points by more transparent shades.
this project is part of the 'flatproject' series.

Ten Rules for Being Human by Cherie Carter-Scott
- You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it's yours to keep for the entire period.
- You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called, "life."
- There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial, error, and experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately "work."
- Lessons are repeated until they are learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.
- Learning lessons does not end. There's no part of life that doesn't contain its lessons. If you're alive, that means there are still lessons to be learned.
- "There" is no better a place than "here." When your "there" has become a "here", you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than "here."
- Other people are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.
- What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.
- Your answers lie within you. The answers to life's questions lie within you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.
- You will forget all this.

Bieke Depoorter, Belgium
‘For three periods of one month, I have let the Trans-Siberian train guide me alongside forgotten villages, from living room to living room. Some Russian words scribbled on a little piece of paper allowed me to be welcomed and absorbed in the warm chaos of a family. Accidental encounters led me to the places where I could sleep. The living room, the epicentre of their life, establishes an intimate contact between the Russian inhabitants. In this room, they sleep, eat and drink, as well as cry. For a brief moment, I was part of this. Their couch became my bed for one night. This way, I experienced transient, but very powerful, shared moments. We communicated without words. We understood each other somehow’.

*soupir* Ce que la marque a fait est un coup médiatique pas une réponse qui est « scalable » Un compte twitter pour une marque ne va pas remplacer le service SAV (avec des centaines de personnes derrière le téléphone). La qualité du service et la réponse de la marque étaient bonnes car elles étaient un coup unique, et réalisées par une personne du service Communications de l'entreprise. Imaginons maintenant les milliers d'appels quotidiens pour une grande marque. Twitter ? Des centaines de comptes twitter ? Des centaines de gens pour y répondre. Baisse de la qualité et du service, baisse de la croyance en l'opération marketing, retour à la case départ. Qu'est-ce qui manque ? La communauté ! Un social media n'existe que si la communauté devient autonome.there was a popular blogger and he also had a Twitter account and he was complaining that his cable was out, and he was I'm going to write about this cable company, Compass and how terrible they are and its going to be the number one search result in, in search engines for year to come. And they were monitoring Twitter search for any mentions of they're brand name. And they saw that within a few minutes and they replied to him on Twitter, and they said what seems to be the problem, they were going to send a van out to your house. And they had his cable fixed in like 30 minutes, so the next day the blog post was, Compass has great customer service, and it was like a, you know a complete reversal and we were like wow, they're really smart about it,
