[Tony Kir­ton of Expe­rience Stu­dio in Ari­zona just sent me the above photo. Basi­cally, he’s got a “Hugh’s Wall” in his office. Thanks, Tony! Click on image to enlarge.]
I’m hap­pily back in Lon­don. My brain is still on fire from all the cool stuff that was dis­cus­sed in Paris. Trying to assem­ble my thoughts and fin­ding it a mas­sive task…

    I’m plan­ning one of these for my apart­ment. But I’ve been sta­lling because of the pros­pect of a night­mare print-and-cut job. Do you know of any easier way to get prints of your work, Hugh?

    Jac­kie, we prin­ted these out on ink­jet prin­ter can­vas and moun­ted them on fra­mes. So perhaps our efforts were more detai­led and time con­su­ming than your thoughts for exe­cu­ting your own wall. No doubt I’m bia­sed, but the end result of our labors is that the pre­sen­ta­tion is really quite cool.

    I thought I was the only one who had a wall of know­ledge set up in their office.
    Here’s how I do it. I down­load Hugh’s dra­wing to my hard drive, then using Acd­See, I print the pic­ture (size to page set­ting) using my color laser­jet.
    On my wall, I have moun­ted some very thin cold rolled steel I pic­ked up at a scrap metal dea­ler for cheap (an old fridge door would have wor­ked too, but hey, the cold steel fit in with the bleached pine decor bet­ter). I bought six pounds of small super mag­nets from a sur­plus store (about the size of a dime each) and use those to hold my print outs to the wall. I can add more Hughisms simply by using more mag­nets to hold the paper. Want me to send pictures?

    Heather, thanks! I’m very inte­res­ted to know your approach. In fact, as of today I have enlis­ted the help of an inte­rior desig­ner to help me with this (and other things). I have lots of ideas, but the exe­cu­tion is where things get fuzzy…
