Good evening,

is someone working / living in St. Petersburg ? or has some other 
connections to the city ?
( may scroll down first and read the forwarded section )

seems that my reputation regarding restauration somehow spread. (?)
Am actually a little bit surprised.
The reason I get sent this is a small pretty ironic work ( was presented in 
Italy last year ) about the failures of urbanism, which can be perceived 
here. Digital images. Perhaps it was not this obvious.
Anyway ... if someone is working in St. Petersburg, perhaps working in a 
local network, or has any connections to the city,  it might be interesting 
to do a proposal to this conference related to networks and their impact on 
urban structures, for example ... perhaps a collaboration ... in case I 
would check for funding/support ( travel, accomodation ect.)  ...
On the web site to the conference there is some preliminary program. It is 
actually quite typical architectural. ... sounds pretty much like walking 
from one monument to another ... ;) ( am not saying that they are not 
interesting )
well... actually looking through the program and having also in mind the 
conference fee I think that this could become a quite boring conference 
with a lot of very boring, exerting people .... ;) someone feels like 
confusing them ?

pssshhhhhh ...  the scheduled Gala Diner could be a lovely event for some 
little performance for example
( do not think one should tell this before ;)
alors ... if someone is interested in some collaborative paper or something 
similar might write to me....


regards claudia
