M_[s] is an attempt at growing a design office/ think-tank out of buzz/ ether/ information (mis- or otherwise) and can therefore be thought of as a design office existing (only/ for now/ at present) in text/ media/ thought/ the-crystallized-honeycomb-of-the-African-shoe-beetle. - a.iverson, 2007

BS06.004 Random Research

Q: Does sports give men something to talk about?
Q: Phenomenon of informal meetings among friends:
a. Max # of people able to be coordinated at the same time and same place?
b. How much notice does the group need? Does this depend on size of group?
c. Does the number increase or decrease in urban areas?
d. Is this effected by gender?
e. What is the percentage of cancellations and no-shows?
Q: Potential for superstar architects to act as record labels, i.e. sponsor/ promote other architects of similar style/ proclivity. Premise: since the branding of architects is a form of product familiarity among consumers would it be possible to extend the brand or create umbrella brands so that consumers could shop within their architectural genre? Could this become a Wal-Mart of architecture products, named by isle, plans for sale for various building, lot, types?
