Renewal Renewal Renewal: I'm asking myself when is engaging in perpetual renewal practice really an admission we're just navigating chaos at this point? PinupsPresidential's Design Colorways platform serves as constant brand reference & navigational wayfinding : Food, clothing, shelter, healthcare, sanitation. More relevant than ever. Grateful I've been designing civic Colorways by practice since 2014. Cybersecurity, environmental impacts, health pandemic & war is waged in Ukraine. Grateful I've been marking time with a human-scale #civicsabbath. I am grim but grounded.
Place
Palm Springs, California. Where are you?Architecture placemaking considers climate & culture.
Food
Brand Palm Springs midcentury-inspired “cocktail” menu, working with disasterpreparedness supplies. I saw a pic of Cary Grant with saltines on the table! This Hollywood elite escape had the affordable marketing underpinnings of real estate developers.
Food made available through Snap California--a personal allotment my state can provide its citizens. When invited, I'll design with the materials my host can provide in the placemaking conditions. If I can do this so can you…is the idea. Big Tech sponsors can help me deliver weekly program lifestyle supplies. Here, I'm working with dried foods & canned, along with closing the sustainable sanitation lifestyle loop. There's peace in practicing preparedness vs. worry. The Augason Farms products are awesome (shelf life 10-30 years!) Making a Palm Springs Poolhouse menu for culinary arts design study.
Clothing
Shelter
Healthcare
Putting shabbos electric candles on the Francis Bacon book amuses me every time. The super73 eBike along Palm Springs incredible bike paths : after staying in during Omicron, my first trip was to Bike Palm Springs to check tire pressure. That alls-well bouncy feeling. Lots of yoga & physical therapy. I've been challenged quite a bit balancing technology, pandemic & injuries.
