Ottopia, etc.
The greatest challenge will be to actually design a schizophrenic environment. For starters, lots of repetition and places vast distances apart come to mind... ...not at all sure whether a Piranesian (a la Campo Marzio) Ichnographia narrative will become part of Ottopia's plan.
...introducing mesh surfaces among pieces (sections) of the Philadelphia model, and thereafter redesigning a new metropolis. This Philadelphia manipulation could be part of Ottopia... ...Ottopia can be any number of built environment landscapes, and not just a "meshland"...

1958. Tuesday, Philadelphia
In the afternoon at three Duchamp has arranged to meet Lily and Marcel Jean [18.4.1958] at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Making his first visit to the museum, Marcel Jean takes a number of photographs, notably of the Large Glass [5.2.1923], which he plans to use in his book on Surrealism.

After learning that Duchamp is one of the executors of Miss Dreier's estate, the director of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Fiske Kimball, writes reminding Duchamp of their visit to Milford [13.4.1951] and indicates as he did last year [19.4.1951] that it is really only the Large Glass which he would like to see join the Arensberg Collection.
In his reply Duchamp confirms the executors intend offering the Glass to Philadelphia and says: "Miss Dreier always had it in mind, and she actually spoke to me about it only a few weeks before she died."
Referring to Kimball's reference in an earlier letter to the article in Life magazine [26.4.1952], Duchamp comments: "It would be hypocritical to say that my 'father' ego was not pleased..."

Knowing that it will please them, Marcel sends the news about the Large Glass and Philadelphia to Lou and Walter Arensberg.

1949. Friday, Philadelphia
As arranged on Monday, Duchamp has an appointment with Fiske Kimball at eleven o'clock at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. After Kimball has shown Duchamp around the museum, they are invited to lunch with Ingersoll. Their discussions, which continue in the afternoon when they return to the museum, turn on the question of space and Duchamp makes detailed notes on the architecture of the different rooms. Kimball also shows him the library and proposes that a special room could be provided for Arensberg's library and the continuation of his work on Sir Francis Bacon.

After the busy day on Friday followed by an evening at the Arensbergs', and his attendance on Saturday in the rain at the parade on Fifth Avenue, Roché went home early on Saturday night. When Marcel telephones at two in the morning inviting Roché to join him at Louise Norton's, Roché declines: he is "sleeping too profoundly".
