Text Zaha - and see your message projected on the Design Museum!

Text wall

To celebrate the opening of Zaha Hadid - Architecture and Design at the Design Museum tonight, we are asking you to text your thoughts on architecture for projection on the Design Museum between 10pm and midnight.

So send a text to 07624 806 248 and let Zaha know what you think! Zaha loves texting, so you may even get a reply from her…

It will look something like the photo above, when we projected comments from architects in Second Life on the museum for Architecture Week.

We are very grateful to Adrian Haffegee from the University of Reading Centre for Advanced Computing and Emerging Technologies (ACET) who is developing projected 3D sms text and sculptor Kate Allen who brought us together.

    Ms. Hadid i don´t know if you personally will read this text but if you do (i hope so!) it would be so grateful for me, My name is Alex C.Carrea i´m from Mexico y got this Web page from a a friend. I sent you, last year, a pack to your studio as a present for your bithday, it contained 3 things, a cd from Björk ,a cd with a simple ducumental i did about you in school( i tried to get it english subtitled but i couldn´t) and a sketch model i did, i hope you recieved it! i wish i could have the oportunity to attend to this exposition but i guess it would be imposible for me, i saw the pictures on the web and it looks awsome.
    I finished my Architecture carrer last December and now i have plans to apply for a master degree at the AA but is to much money for me but i will do all i could to apply and try to get a scholar ship for it! there are many things i wish i could explain in front of you about my decision of studying architecture, since i was a little child i always liked the music and the architeture, you have the same age of my mother you were born in 1950 so did she, when you started your architecture carrer you were 22 years old and you finished it when you were 27, you recieve a special mention about your carrer work, so did i, the year you opened you own studio it was on 1979 the year i was born, you are a mathematician, i´m a musician, you may think i´m crazy!
    When i decided to study architecture it was when i saw one of your projects on an Architecture Magazine, then i decided to aply for architecture school! well is some thing i wanted you to know, i hope you are ok and i just want to thank you even without knowin´you personally for create this unfinished feelin´inside me!

    well, i really hope you read this Ms. Hadid!
    i am a student from Palestine, i will finish high school this year. i love architecture so much, especially your designs…. i think they’re so modern and breathtaking.
    this is a very long shot, but anyway, if you ever read this can you please tell me which architecture school is the best (for modern and contemporary design, and designs like yours).
