"Canteen Brick-Down".


(This is by Debbie Loo and 5ft Creatives.)

I like it; either out of personal sentimentality for the old FASS canteen, or a general appreciation of Loo's concept of reclaiming memory.

By the way, I've been to the new canteen, and simply don't understand why there was a need to rebuild at all. No doubt it looks cleaner*, but it's such a forgettable space. For fuck sake, Techno Edge (Engineering Canteen) in all its functionalism has more of a personality!

* Just a small distinction that hygiene and cleanliness is a lot about practice, maintenance and upkeeping. No amount of modern material can convince me to lick off walls and floors without a good wipe-down.
