More downtown chinese hairdresser stories... coming soon.

Someone is going to have a chinese haircut in Amsterdam soon... and that's me.



Maybe I should try the more modern one there and get some more 'modern' chinatown information for our project. I'm looking forward to collecting all our data and visualize them. I suspect that not-so-profound patterns will emerge.

I sometimes wonder what the final product might be, or whom it might be interesting. Will it really have something small but new to say about the subjects and objects that we study? Will it be so specific and subjective that it won't be really describing a whole microcosm? But then again, I think that no project or research can really escape those factors. I believe it's good to focus on the data for the time. Good things usually come up when not forced to. And I have to say it's been quite enjoyable so far. We'll see how it goes... together.

reading your post, the first thing that comes up to my mind is actually a discussion we had about this studio.
I have a small phrase here, spoken by yourself (!):
'it's not the result that matters in this project...it's an experiment;we are being taught to approach urbanism through a different way, and this procedure is probably that what we are looking fore here...

who knows?
