Some slow projects won't leave you alone. You might not have done anything about them for ages but your attention keeps catching on something related in the world, nagging you, reminding you that there's something that needs completing.
Lyddle End 2050 seems to be one of those. Every few weeks or so, since we started, something reminds me that we need to get it done.
Obviously some of that's because if there's a model village nearby I'll go and visit it. But then there are other things, like this Levi-Strauss quote:
Or these wonderful exercises in scale, or the connections between our Lyddle End imaginings and real-world (ish) architecture like this Terreform project or what Chris noted here.
Anyway, all of this says to me that we should get on and finish this thing, whatever finish means in this case.
So, here's a suggestion for the start of the finish - we have some spanking new offices, where we could start to get all the existing models together in a display of some sort and maybe get them photographed nicely in context. So, if you've made a model and you're willing to ship it, would you mind sending it to the address at the top of this page. If you don't want to, or can't afford to, that's fine, we'll work out how to incorporate photos into 'the show'. If you've not finished your model, or not shot it, then here's your opportunity to rediscover your enthusiasm. Finish it off, shoot it, upload it to flickr tagged lyddleend2050 and it should end up on the tumblr.
Anyway. Just a nudge. To me as much as anyone.
