“BOTH HAVE DEVILS TO TROUBLE THEM,” Montreal Gazette. January 9, 1933. Page 5.  --- Link Between Printing Craft and Ministers Seen by Canon Shatford --- RULE OF TECHNOCRACY --- Dominion of Machinery as Against Ideals and Morals Constitutes Peril Suggests Rector --- Technocracy, the rule of technique governing art and craftsmanship, Is not everything in life, for in the final analysis it is man who is supreme, ruling in the interests of humanity and not on behalf Frankensteins to crush the life of the inventors, Canon Allan P. Shatford stated on Saturday night at a meeting of the Montreal Typographical Union, Local 176, in the Queen s Hotel. 

Decidedly, Canon Shatford pointed out, the present era is outstanding for mechanical progress. He questioned, however, whether the morals and ideals of humanity have kept pace with the technical developments, for, in his opinion, there must be men of ideals high ideals and noble aims behind that movement to benefit mankind. Mere domination of skillful machines is not enough, for the soul of man is the heart and essence of creation. 

The year 1933 should be one in which ideals and not machines should be the dominant consideration. "You can't measure things by length of time or external values. There is some element in the soul and mind of man that shapes the things of life. Man is the architect of his fortune, and the man of ideals will mould this Dominion in the glory of nationhood,' Canon Shatford continued.

APPLICATION OF IDEALS. The plea was for the placing of personality before everything else. The true rule of the world was not to be found in technique, but in the correct application of ideals. The higher the Ideals the better for the universe. "It is the ideal behind fact that is the governing influence of life. Keep your eyes on the stars, away from the brutal facts of life and dominating machines," he urged his audience.

Printers and ministers had many things in common. Canon Shatford assured his hearers. For one thing, both had devils to deal with. Printers devils, he believed, cause the, craftsmen as much trouble as Mephistopheles gave him in his ministry'. John Guttenberg invented printing and the first thing off the press was the Bible. "You had a good beginning," he remarked, "though I doubt whether many ot you have kept close acquaintanceship with the good book."

There is no department of work in the world without close relation to other endeavors. Canon Shatford maintained. It is impossible for one organization to consider itself apart from others. The great need, there-fore, was for mutual exchange and co-operation, instead of partizan cries, sectional clamors. Separation barriers, racial cries and national walls were but a few of the retarding Influences to a return to prosperous days. 

William Skanes, president, was in the chair. In introducing the guest speaker, he remarked that Canon Shatford was dominant in the community for the promotion of a healthy spirit of goodwill. Walter Olshefski, violinist, accompanied by Kathleen Harris on the piano, provided the musical entertainment of the evening.

Naima Callenberg presented her on-going city-planning exhibition project with Röhsska Museet, which will open in the fall of 2020. Unfortunately for OhiO, she could not get into details on content and participating architects but she shared her process of curating and the process of her exhibition design. Her project was circling around her the notion of “discursive architecture” and she was mulling over the question: “how does one communicate a speculative project?”. 

After the project was presented a discussion around the question Naima posed became alive as the group delved into communication platforms from the on-the-site exhibition as well as websites or beyond. Another notable discussion was around the role of the architect as being both a draftsperson, a visionary, and a discursive architect.

I am thankful for: Passing my oral defense

Hey everyone, I know I have been avoiding quite a few people through all the social media apps. I've just been -- as usual -- so busy! A quick update of everything so far. I've returned as the victor from my oral defense for my dissertation ... meaning in reality after being grilled like crazy for 90-120 minutes, my committee members thought that I knew my information in and out, so they let me pass! Phew! 大家你好， 我知道最近在社群媒體上故意迴避滿多人（FB, IG, 等等）。實際上我如往常一樣--忙.爆.了！ 很快更新一下最近發生的所有事。我成功的以勝利者的姿態從我的博士口試後回歸，真實狀況是在口試委員們花了大概90到120分鐘不斷的考驗下,我的口試委員們一致認為我對我的資料了解的非常透徹，所以他們讓我通過了!我感覺我是烤肉，不是”考”（哈哈）。 สวัสดีค่ะ ทุกคน ลีรู้ว่าพักนี้ ลีเลี่ยงที่จะคุยกับหลายคนทาง social media พักนี้ก็เหมือนเดิม ยุ่งมาก ลีอยาก update ทุกคนว่า ...นั่นแปลว่าระยะเวลา90-120นาทีนั้นคณะกรรมการถามคำถามยากๆกับลี ลีก็ก้าวด้วยดี!ไชโย

The largest hurtle it over... Now for the long list of tiny small things I have to do. This included finding "spare" time when I'm not working to make MAJOR edits, printing out hardcover paper copies, paying school fees, ... the list goes on. I'll update you again all soon! 最大的障礙已接結束，現在只有一大堆小小事情等著我去處理。這包括當我沒有對論文做重大修改時我要找到“空閒”的時間，印論文影本，付學費，等等….。下次我會在大家更新近況！ ลีก้าวข้ามสิ่งที่สำคัญที่สุดได้แล้ว ...ที่เหลือก็มีแต่เรื่องจุกจิก หลายๆ อย่างที่ต้องทำ เช่นหาเวลา"ว่าง" นอกจากการที่จะแก้วิทยานิพนธ์ครั้งใหญ่ ต้องปริ้นวิทยานิพนธ์หลายเล่ม ต้องจ่ายค่าเหล่าเรียนให้ครบ ...เร็วๆนี้เดี๋ยว update อีกทีค่ะ

Björn Renner took the risk and launched a new project at OhiO Wednesday in October. The work is an investigation of the statement from a long-time client: “Just make it look expensive.” This statement inspired Björn to investigate just what are the aesthetics of “looking expensive” and how can he take artistic freedom within these aesthetics. It was also revealed that he will work with VR, dancers moving with abstracted bodies and utilizing patterns found in luxury design brands.   

After the project was presented a lively discussion around the provocation of actually taking on the statement “look expensive” within the creative process came about. Through this discussion, the crowd really got into a constructive feedback session of the work-in-progress presented by Renner plus a self-critical conversation of what we, in the School of Design, tend to believe is “taboo.” or “unspoken”. Renner even received several interesting departure points for the projects further research and development such as considering the question: “how might one move expensive?”
