What if Austin's Old Bakery was an Urban Sketchbook? - 12/02/2011

Currently there are discussions about the future of the Old Bakery steps from the Capitol in Austin, Texas. Following the developments of this initiative, we read an interesting proposition: 

What  If  We  Used  An  Old  Telephone  Booth  To  Set  Up  A  Micro-Lending  Library  At  The  Bakery Bus  Stop?

This spurred us to dig a little deeper into the genius loci or sense of (this) place. We learned this bakery was the favorite spot for a group of draftsmen. Drafting you say? ...We love to sketch too. And believe, "Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once (s)he grows up." Pablo Picasso

So we want to ask:  "what if we repurposed a shipping container as an urban sketch book?" The site could be transformed with a temporary art + architecture installation that both engages and inspires dialogue through the simple act of a chalk board sketch.
