Has anyone seen Camp Runamuck, which has been growing right by South Main? http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/31/us/31land.html

 I couldn't help thinking that artists, designers, academics, students, all of us could have something to do or say about this. Impromptu industrial design? A record or memory of this city before eviction in a few weeks? A follow-up (where will they go)? The summer dampens our ability to react, but it seems so poignant to me that this tent city--involving so many issues of space, society, culture, design--would be right here so close to our campus, and yet in a way so far removed. Or not?
