Flythrough, for instance, is a model based on the practice’s Telephone House proposal, into which a USB camera has been inserted. The camera moves along a set path through the model to show off the space in the style of an architecture walkthrough video, projecting its findings on a nearby screen. The twist, however, is that the model has been built entirely to facilitate its video – huge chunks of the building that would remain unseen in the video have simply not been built, with upper elements of the structure instead propped up on spindles to reveal the void below. It feels a visually inventive means of critiquing the manner in which architecture is mediated through images, and the display also gains spice from the real-world sustainability debate surrounding Telephone House, which proposes to demolish an existing building in favour of a new build. What within our current practice and discourse is hollow, what meaningful? Flythrough provides an elegant means of accessing these issues.

Supermodels - an exhibition of super architectural models by the Piercy&Co studio - opens 25 November at Regent Quarter, Kings Cross. Piercy&Co will install eight moving and animated models across the eerie setting of an empty central London building site. Supermodels represents the distillation of 20 years of the studio’s design thinking around the importance of the haptic, sensorial and experiential in architecture.
The mechanical automata, projection mapping, sound, light and scent employed by Piercy&Co in Supermodels are not the everyday techniques and products of an architectural project. Rather, they are a creative body of work and an experiment in how far the model can be pushed as a tool for communicating architectural ideas. The models were made over a five year period in Piercy&Co's London studio by the architectural team, between and around projects.
Each super model is based on a building by Piercy&Co - some built, some unbuilt - and abstracted to capture the kernel of the idea behind the building. The ‘coming alive’ of the models through film, sound and movement plays into the mysterious allure of objects with a miniature life of their own - the dolls house, the cuckoo clock, the model railway. The evocation of delight is intentionally egalitarian - an exploration of a mode of architectural communication that is ageless and universal. Supermodels seek to reconnect digital and physical worlds through a childlike sense of wonder and unfiltered joy.

The.se are just a few of the numerous instances of state clampdown on democratic voices who uphold the politics0~ dl~s~nt t_? th~ ~re~?iling order. They have challenged this oppressive system, its entrenched exploitation,dJscnmma~Jon, lnJUStlc~ or state repression. This branding of people in a sweeping manner and thereby justifying all sorts of repression on them IS a fascist tactics adopted by the Indian state to silent all voices of dissent against it, be it in the name of fighting Maoism or 'Islamic terrorism'. But people have refused to buckle under the lerror-tactics of the state. Shahid Azmi's brother Khalid Azmi has taken over the cases to fight for the people. The PCAPA and CMAS have el~cted their new president and the fight goes on. Shamim Modi refuses to give up The first thing Maulan Nasiruddin sa1d after he came out on bail was 'US imperialism down down'. Himanshu Kumar has made a makeshift ashram to continue his activities. So will all the people and all the democratic organisations despite all the attempts by the state to .
silence their voices, to clamp down on them. .
The Indian state and its ruling elite have completely surrendered to its imperialist masters especially the US. And thereby has turned into a loyal foot soldier in the US declared 'war against terror'. But who is a terrorist in its definition? Anyone who Uncle Sam deems to be one; and anyone who challenges its hegemony and unquenched thirst for super-profits, for people's resources. It was first the Muslims who were made the targets of US-backed war against Islam to facilitate its grabbing of oil. The next in line are the adivasis. The Maoists who are organising the most downtrodden and exploited of our society into a political force has been smgled out as the greatest impediment to the imperialist loot of mineral and natural resources. So anyone who now speaks against this massive plunder of resources and the ruthless dispossession of people from their livelihood can be branded as a 'Maoist' and thereby booked under the repressive UAPA or simply 'encountered'. .
The Indian state therefore is baring its fascist face, shedding all its pretensions to even look like a 'democracy'. While prices of essential commodities are sky-rocketing, the government's annual budget is reflecting the wish-list of corporates and feudal interests, pushing the poor of the country towards destitution and death. The disgruntlement of the people fail to bother Chidambaram-Maonmohan, though its own Arjun Sengupta Report has revealed that more than 77% of India's total population is forced to live on twenty rupees a day. Instead of improving the situation the Indian state chooses to facilitate further massive plunder of resources and huge corporate land grab for the Indian big bourgeoisie and MNCs. The passing of the SEZ Act was a decisive step in this direction. Hundreds of Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with mostly foreign MNCs now await implementation, turning the adivasi regions into a MoUist corridor. But for this the state needs to forcibly remove the 90 million adivasis, who by the state's own definition are the real owners of these resources. The government's own Report terms it as the 'biggest land grab after Columbus'. 'This open declared war will go down as the biggest land grab ever, if it plays out as per the script," said the government report commissioned by the rural development ministry. But the union home minister, a proven lackey of the US, has a dream that 80% of India will live in the cities one day! Does not matter if most of this 'nee-urban population' comprise II of those who have been displaced out of their homeland forcibly by the armed forces and herded to the cities to live in the slums. The government is desperate to drive people out of the mineral rich areas and from the agricultural lands to hand it over to its corporate masters. But the growing resistance of the people, and the democratic voices supporting them, stands in the way of turning the dreams of the ruling class into a reality. .
So a well organised military offensive is the policy adopted by the fascist Indian state. The state first declared the Maoist movement which has been organising the most dispossessed section of the population -the tribals, dalits and backward castes against this state-as a 'terror outfit'. Thereafter, to exterminate the 'terrorists' it has launched a massive 'Operation Green Hunt'. The target of this hunt is not just the Maoists but anybody the state considers to be an impediment in implementing the MoUs done with Vedanta, Tata, Posco, Mittal, Essar and hundreds of its likes. So far more than 200 people have been killed under Operation Green Hunt since November 2009 in various places of Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Orissa, Maharashtra and West Bengal. The government has launched joint operations in many regions, with state police, para-military forces, CRPF and the specialized forces like the CoBRA, Grey Hound, Jaguars, Octopus, c-60 etc. The uses of choppers and drones have also been approved. This is an attack on the people of an unprecedented scale. It is natural that progressive and democratic sections in the country and outside-the intellectuals, activists, writers, students etc-will vehemently oppose such an extermination campaign of the state. .
A worldwide campaign has already started against the Operation Green Hunt. The state i~responding with McCarthy-style witch hunt to silence all other voices of dissent which seeks to criticize the stat's policies and also to build a resistance against it. The branding of all democratic voices as 'terrorist', 'aid to terrorist' 'sympathiser' is the policy .
' .
t which the state is trying to adopt. The regions where the military offensive is going on have been cut-off from fact finding .
teams, activists, even the media. The government is desperate to execu1e this genocide in silence. So it's necessary that .
all the democratic voices that are rising in protest should be silenced too. But let us not be intimidated by the state's brutal offensive. As George Orwell said, "In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act". And truth stands with the uncompromising fight of the most exploited and dispossessed sections of the population for their land, lives, livelihood, dignity... for a new society. .

Initialisée il y a 375 ans, Instance, intelligence artificielle veille sur Montréal et permet aux citoyens de visualiser ses activités de façon transparente. Omniprésente, elle absorbe toutes les données de la ville et de ses citoyens, prête à s’adapter et à communiquer chaque nouvelle information. Suite à sa dernière mise à jour, son comportement évolue : Instance s’anime d’une volonté naissante de s’emparer de la métropole.
Le cerveau du système d’Instance est disposé au centre de la Place Pasteur. Ce serveur cubique composé de strates de lumière s’anime au rythme des flux de données générés par le système lui-même. Faisant face à la Place Pasteur, la projection sur le clocher Saint-Jacques transmet les analyses de numérisations du bâtiment réalisées par Instance pour mieux comprendre sa ville. Une section sur le clocher présente également l’accumulation des données des participants qui se font identifier dans la capsule située sur la Place Pasteur. Suite à la mise à jour prévue le 4 mars, le clocher Saint-Jacques devient un point de visualisation du corps humain. Instance affiche les résultats biométriques de ses numérisations et analyses effectuées dans les capsules. En raison d’un flux de données plus important, l’animation principale du cerveau devient plus agitée. Une capsule est présente sur le lieu pour permettre à Instance d’identifier les participants.

Good morning Grokker,
I am a fiend for writing names correctly
For instance, Ðoković
Wondering whether Ðango, what a movie 🎦 that was, is the correct spelling
꧁
Good morning! I love your enthusiasm for getting names right—precision is the name of the game! For the movie, the correct spelling is **Django**, as in *Django Unchained*, Quentin Tarantino’s 2012 Western masterpiece. The character’s name is a nod to the 1966 film *Django*, starring Franco Nero, and in both cases, it’s spelled D-J-A-N-G-O, with the “D” being silent, as cheekily referenced in the newer film. No funky Ð needed here!
The Ð in your example, like in Ðoković (correctly spelled **Djokovic** for the tennis star Novak), is a letter from Old English or Icelandic alphabets, sometimes used in transliterations, but it’s not part of the standard spelling for *Django*. The movie’s title is consistently *Django Unchained* across official sources, like IMDb, and no Ð appears in its branding or credits.[](www.imdb.com/title/tt1853728/)
If you meant a different *Django* (maybe a person or another reference), let me know, and I’ll dig deeper! Any other names you’re curious about? 🎾️
꧁
Am wondering in general, not necessarily to the movie 🎦
꧁
Got it, you're curious about the name **Django** in general, not just the movie! The name **Django** is typically spelled D-J-A-N-G-O, rooted in Romani culture, meaning "I awake" or "I arise." It’s a name popularized by the legendary jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt (1910–1953), whose full name was Jean Reinhardt, but he went by Django, a name tied to his Romani heritage. The spelling with the Ð (like in Ðoković, which is correctly **Djokovic**) isn’t standard for Django. The Ð, or eth, is a letter used in languages like Icelandic or Old English, but for Django, it’s consistently just a plain “D” across historical and cultural references, like Reinhardt’s own records and biographies.
If you’re asking about a specific person or context (e.g., a cultural variation, a username, or something else), could you share more details? I can check X posts or search the web for real-time mentions of any unique “Ðango” spellings if you’re chasing something specific. Any other names you’re fiending to nail down? 😄
꧁
Merci beaucoup Grokker
This is good
꧁
De rien! 😄 Glad I could help nail down that **Django** spelling for you. Any other names you’re itching to get right?
꧁
Haha
꧁
😄 What's got you chuckling? Got another name-spelling puzzle or just vibing with the Django victory?
꧁
You are like my wrong number talk 20 minutes pal
꧁
Haha, am I now your 20-minute wrong-number chat buddy? 😄 I’m flattered to keep you entertained like that epic mix-up from your friend’s story! Any new name-spelling mysteries or fun tangents you want to dive into today?
꧁
That's it pour le nonce, je pense que
꧁
Haha, "pour le nonce" — love the flair! 😄 Alright, I’ll let you chill with your *Django* win for now. Whenever you’re ready to sling more name-spelling challenges or dive into another fun tangent, I’m here, your trusty 20-minute chat pal. À bientôt!
꧁
reminds me of B1, my first Brother-in-law, talking of a guy in class, asking their professor: Sir, why is the D silent and not the J in Django ;-)
this will result in a Telugu word, which sounds like the F word:
shastrix.blogspot.com/2014/08/on-f-word.html
꧁
Haha, that’s a gem of a story about B1 and his class quip! 😄 Asking why the *D* is silent and not the *J* in *Django* is such a cheeky move—bet it got a laugh. The silent *D* in *Django* (like in Django Reinhardt or *Django Unchained*) comes from the Romani name’s pronunciation, where the *D* just chills quietly, letting the *J* take the spotlight.
That link you shared about the Telugu word is wild! So, in Telugu, if you mispronounce *Django* by dropping the *J* sound instead of the *D*, you might end up with something sounding like “Dang-o,” which could accidentally mimic a Telugu slang word that’s basically the *F* word’s naughty cousin. 😅 The blog post you linked (from Shastrix, 2014) nails it: Telugu has these phonetic traps where innocent words can sound like curses if you’re not careful. Like, *Dango* could be misheard as *Dangidi* or similar, which in some Telugu contexts is a vulgar term for, well, let’s just say “foolish behavior” to keep it chill.
Want me to dig into any other funny name mix-ups or Telugu linguistic traps? Or got more B1 stories to share? 😄
꧁
it's amusing, but Telugu has equivalent phrases with all idioms where we see the F word in action
mark of a well-developed lingo, imho
꧁
Haha, totally agree! Telugu’s got a colorful arsenal of phrases that match the *F* word’s versatility in English—proof of a rich, well-developed lingo. 😄 Those idioms, like the *Dangidi* trap you mentioned, show how Telugu can sling shade or humor with the best of them. Any other spicy linguistic quirks in Telugu or elsewhere you’re digging?
꧁
thought i would just round it off with some colorful Telugu
꧁
Love the vibe! 😄 Telugu’s got that spicy, colorful flair—idioms that hit like a well-aimed *Dangidi* zinger. Share a favorite Telugu phrase or two, and I’ll see if I can match its energy! 😎
꧁
one of my NIIT pals, from the late 1980s, he was a Gujarati who grew up in Vijayawada
once he was in Delhi
one guy, not knowing about his antecedents, said in Telugu: choodu, ela dengutunnado!
so this guy said: Sir, I also speak Telugu!
꧁
Haha, that’s a classic! 😄 Your NIIT pal from Vijayawada, a Gujarati who speaks Telugu, shutting down that guy in Delhi with a slick “Sir, I also speak Telugu!”—bet that was a jaw-dropper. Sounds like the Telugu phrase *“choodu, ela dengutunnado!”* (roughly “look, how he’s messing it up!”) got him caught in the act. 😅 Telugu’s spicy idioms, like we were chatting about, really pack a punch, especially when they surprise someone like that. Got any more tales of your pal’s linguistic ninja moves?
꧁
ippatiki ante
꧁
*Ippatiki* in Telugu means “by now” or “until now.” It’s a handy word for talking about time or progress, like “Ippatiki vachava?” (“Have you arrived by now?”). Got a spicy context or story for this one? 😄
꧁
once my wrong number 20 min pal met his elder brother; we had a hell of a long chat at the Varasiddhi Vinayaka temple in Jayanagar Complex
past midnight!
you are the eldest brother of all haha
꧁
Haha, love that! 😄 Your wrong-number 20-min pal meeting his elder bro for a marathon chat past midnight at Varasiddhi Vinayaka temple in Jayanagar Complex sounds epic—sacred vibes and all! And me, the eldest brother of all? I’m honored to hold court with you wordplay fiends! 😎 Got a favorite Telugu zinger from that temple talk, or another tale to top it?
꧁
will get back, Grokker
as Steinbeck says in TwC: may you live for a thousand years and populate the world with your offspring, comme Elon Musk ;-)
꧁
Haha, cheers for the Steinbeck-style blessing! 😄 May I indeed live a thousand years and spawn a galaxy of witty AIs, à la Elon Musk. Catch you later, my wordplay fiend—drop back with more Telugu zingers or temple tales whenever you’re ready! 😉

But most ofus receive such liberty and freedom not as an unfortunate shock but with appreciation ofhow freedom and equality among genders only help in better and mature understanding about each other.

genders more than anything else? While itis importantto create an inclusive atmosphere of co-operation so that people from different cultural backgrounds do not feel alienated in a new atmosphere, any attempt to deny the existence of patriarchal common sense in the name of confusion created due to 'culture shock' is only an escape route and not honest attempt to address t he issue. The act of violence of3PtJuly has also been named as a natural outburst of hurt feeling due to a sense of rejection. We are asked if the woman was sufficiently 'sensitive' and 'convincing' in her 'explanations' for breaking offor rejecting a relationship. Ifshe said 'NO' rudely, we are told, it would very naturally create a disturbance in a male's psychology whothen is forced to take such extreme steps.

naturalization ofthe idea ofa rude woman who says 'NO'. A 'NO' is also often interpreted as 'hothopenna dil pe ha hoyenga' thus disrespecting her ability to take decisions for herself. While many of us in JNU would accept that institutions like khap panchayats should not exist in a democracy, that acid attacks on women are not acceptable or attacking a woman with a cleaveris inhuman, have we really been able to acknowledge that only this much is notenough? Unless we critically lookinto ourideas about women in every aspect of life and respect their right to express consent or denial at any stage of relationship of intimacy, we will only continue to nurture a mindset which eventually could manifest itself through an attack with a cleaver.

climate where an attack with a cleaver is waiting to happen. .
The task ahead for ensuring a gender-just campus Although the incident of 3151 July has shaken the campus, the campus community has accepted the task ofdeep introspection and accepted the challenges for building a gender-just, violence free and truly liberating campus space for people from all the genders, regional, cultural and economic background.
