Announcement #7_ Unauthorized Publicity

In a surprising and unauthorized move an announcement (Best Promo Ever) of the forthcoming Exhibition was released today on the Architecture MN blog Architecture MN blog.  It is unclear what action or sanctions the Department might take against the organization in order to hamper a growing anticipation as the opening approaches.

While the Department generally does not recommend other sites or sources and tries to maintain the dignity of its anonymity, an exception has been made in this case and highly "suggests" investigating the magazine's website:

Announcement #6-Entry to Zone 5 image released

In an effort to mitigate mounting public pressure for further information and explanations of their earlier announcements on the excavation occurring in Zone 5, the Department of Public Design released a photo of what they describe as the "Entry to Zone 5".  In an attempt to answer why a number "9" can be seen painted under the entry, a spokesperson for the Director stated, "This is a typical deflection technique used at the time of Zone 5's active life meant to obfuscate efforts to locate them."


Purported "Entry to Zone 5"

No further information was released.
