Drum Roll Please. . .

. . . by the smallest of margins, the Red/Anteater AKA “big anteater out of small hanging parts, Korean artist-style” is the leading proposal.

Some notes and caveats:
  • It took me some time to pull this together and by the time I did, three “Green/Puzzle” team  members — the 2nd favorite idea — were left in the room. They generously recognized the potential of proceeding with the big anteater.
  • That said, votes were very close across the board. We will extract inspiration from all of your proposals
  • Everyone pulled together a strong proposal relative to last Thursday. Thank you, and congratulations.
  • Note that the grad student votes, if included, swung the vote differently. But even the Green representatives — the beneficiaries of the swing — agreed that we should stick to the 130A majority opinion.
  • I can imagine the following: an Anteater form reduced to a point cloud, that locates the hanging objects in space. . . the hanging objects being the forms of the various Mesa housing units, scaled to suit. . . representatives from the halls that collected the most lids helping hang the objects in a ceremony. . .
I have posted this email to the site and opened the post to comments. For Thursday: please provide any thoughts you have about how we might bring our leading proposal forward. Variations, questions, inspirations, concerns,

Lots to do, starting Thursday. See you then,
