"In New York City we don't always have a tree available or a
place to drive a tent stake. And we don't tie off to cars because
someone might steal the car and drive off with the rig dragging
behind it. A funny sight it may be, but it plays havoc on a
production schedule. We use Mafia blocks. Mafia blocks??? Three
foot square cement blocks that weigh about 2,000 pounds apiece.
They even have a tie off point cast in them. Get a forklift to
drop them where you need them and you're in business. I'll leave
the reasoning behind the name choice to your imagination."
Alternative Building Systems
Containers as Structures - In the summer of 1995, Walt Disney Studios leased 180 containers. The units were stacked and secured to create (4) 85' x 120'
movie screens in New York’s Central Park. The container "screens" were used for the world premiere of the "movie"
Pocahontas. Later in the summer, the same concept was adopted by the
Vatican for the Pope’s visit to New York. Containers provided
large screens which carried the Pope’s mass in Central Park.

The weariness of irony leads us to seek intensities of experience
"We are as gods and might as well get used to it. So far, remotely done power and glory--as via government, big business, formal education, church--has succeeded to the point where gross obscure actual gains. In response to this dilemma and to these gains a realm of intimate, personal power is developing--power of the individual to conduct his own education, find his own inspiration, shape his own environment, and share his adventure with whoever is interested. Tools that aid this process are sought and promoted by the WHOLE EARTH CATALOG."

"....the deep and dirty little secret that
haunts much of design trade magazine writing to this day. The stories are written from pictures.
This approach may explain the lifeless copy, the vapid and skimpy text adjacent to the gorgeous
images. Very early on, I began to wonder how you could write about something you haven't
experienced. The quality of light, the colors, the textures, the space, the people in it--all need to
be perceived by a writer who tries to describe a room. After all, rooms are meant to be lived in,
worked in; it's there where we spend most of our lives. Because of this intense involvement with our
immediate surroundings, our rooms deserve to be treated with accordingly intense thought and
purpose."
