Small Groups & Canadian Spelling

Yesterday afternoon, Jason came by the studio again to preview our small group designs, which we will be re-presenting to the community tomorrow. None of the designs were perfect, but Jason saw potential in each of them and deemed that all 3 are fit to be shown to members of the neighborhood association! Our goal for tomorrow is not to have one design be chosen over the others, but rather for members of the community to point out things which they like and ideas they have for the installation. Renovations to Stephen Washington Park have been long anticipated, so it is important that the people who fought for it to happen have their input heard and incorporated. The review will take place on the site itself, and each group of 3-4 will be bringing multiple boards and a physical model, and we are planning on marking the footprints of our proposed pavilions on the site itself.

Although the review was mainly architectural in nature, the gang got hung up on a few matters of spelling and pronunciation. Circa yesterday’s blog post, a few of us noted that Liam’s title was supposedly spelled wrong (see “Reagatron is Modelling!!!!”). Disregarding “Reagatron,” he spelled modeling with two L’s, which he claimed is the Canadian way of spelling it. This and his pronunciation of the word “composite” became an in-depth discussion with Charleston’s Director of Parks. Full transparency, I googled it, and he was absolutely right, but we’ll let you the reader decide if it was intentional.
