“I have received a few personal emails from LAUNCH members asking what’s up with Urban Paradoxes. I don’t want to monopolize the Launch mail list with a long reply … so to see the direction Urban Paradoxes is heading these days I invite you to check out out the new website at http://www.urbanparadoxes.com. Questions / [...]

“So, in an effort to streamline this whole LAUNCH thing into an actual sort of entity there has been the tentative and hesitant creation of an ‘official’ LAUNCH-Cleveland web site over at:
http://www.launchcleveland.com
It is still in flux and probably doesn’t work with everyone’s browser just yet.  However if you have any comments or whatever feel free [...]

“http://www.arquitectum.com/londres2008.php?idioma=1
I thought the idea of the competition could be interesting if adaptable to our fair city.  Imagine a gallery floated down the Cuyahoga.  Granted, the permitting process would render it all but impossible but the founding for the idea is sort of nice. ‘…containing and distributing design to the city…’ (go to article) 

“While I agree that much of what is being said here can apply to Cleveland, being extremely familiar with both cities (Baltimore native as well as having projects underway in that city) the major difference is attitude.  Baltimore from top down is about Baltimore and its health.  One example:  I looked at a piece of [...]

“Just came across an awesome article by Fred Scharmen on archinect
about Baltimore.
http://archinect.com/features/article.php?id=72491_0_23_0_C
I think most of what he is talking about in the article relates
directly to Cleveland’s issues. I would even argue Cleveland is a
‘better’ location for what he is talking about then Baltimore, but
that is obviously the city he is most familiar with…” (go to [...]

“Launch Cleveland this Thursday at 6pm at the Blind Pig… plans still stand, I’ll be there.
Last month’s meeting did not happen to due Valentine’s Day and various schedule conflicts. Today, I will send an open invite through the larger Launch list selling it as a monthly gathering of a few architects meeting for drinks in [...]

“As a few architecture events/initiatives have been recently ‘launched’ or proposed, we’ll update all on the ongoing progress and what can be done to help. As always, we’re looking to entertain new ideas and activities to engage the local architecture and design community. Additionally, we’re looking to grow a email blast list to notify those [...]

“I would like to go down to both the SANAA lecture on Tuesday and the
LTL lecture the following Tuesday. I think the SANAA lecture would be
great in conjunction with the field trip to Toledo.
For those interested in going to SANAA on Tuesday we should work out a
place and time to meet to carpool down…” (go [...]

“LTL is lecturing in Pittsburgh at Carneige Mellon U. on Jan. 28th.
Anyone interested in getting a caravan together to go?
The only place I have found any info is on LTL’s website, and it just
has it listed. My assumption is that it will end up being at the
Carnegie Art Museum, in the ‘burgh…” (go to article)

“In conjunction with LAUNCH Cleveland, I will be organizing
transportation from Downtown Cleveland to the Toledo Museum of Art
contingent on the level of interest. Please contact me at
finkbradley@gmail.com if you would be interested in attending. There
is a small group of us at this time who will be making the trip…” (go to article)

Blind Pig
With that in mind we are going to institute a “second thursday” rule
so that it is apparent when the next meeting is.  We will be meeting
at the Blind Pig until spring moves us back outside.  The idea is to
have a regular meeting date and time so that people will inherently
know when [...]
