It is amusing to look at this project again and realize how inadequate these "walls" may become, especially after seeing so many recent examples of kindergarten that emphasize on openness and total visual connection.
But, I think there is a tendency to forgot how precious wall means in our lives, both physically and mentally. I notice I always prefer to hang around the perimeter/wall during an open event or choose to sit by the wall whenever I choose my studio desk . Wall can be massive, boring but it is precisely that quiet nature makes it very appealing. There is an interesting Ted Talk by Susan Cain ( http://www.ted.com/talks/susan_cain_the_power_of_introverts.html )
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
