Work continues on TDAR’S high school “academic integrity” project.  After discovering that the pvc plumbing joint we really needed didn’t exist, we finally erected our new temporary classroom–an old idea we’ve just now gotten around to trying out in preparation for this event.   The cube is shown here at The Philadelphia Institute for Advanced Study (PIFAS); Oliver looks on with pride.  Not quite as collapsible as we had first imagined, the room eventually broke back down into 24 4′ pipes without too much effort.  It may seem motionless thanks to the wonders of photography, but the room actually looks a bit like a wobbly piece of translucent polygon jello in real life.

Half the fun (for me at least) of TDAR’s white aesthetic has always been in its juxtaposition with the colorful chaos of PIFAS; I wonder how our room will or won’t fit in when installed in the high school’s main lobby?
