venice

We're off to Venice next week for the biennale.
Hopefully we will be surprised with the quality of the presenting work this time although reading Sejima's statement I have big doubts.
Nevertheless, I really look forward to going there and enjoy the event merithorically, socially and enjoy the city of course :)
Will be back soon with loads of photographs to share.

golden lane

This post is delayed by 2 months, I guess.
I needed some time to feel right about showing these.
I feel an enormous nostalgia every time I walk around these Brutalist icons..

Corinne Mercadier.

Looking for inspiration for our trip to Venice.

Despite all the recent problems we’re off to the Architecture Biennale, should be good.

Looks like no holiday this year...

Not a Pavilion

"I will not make a pavilion for you but an Electronic Poem and a vessel containing the poem; light, color image, rhythm and sound joined together in an organic synthesis."

Iannis Xenakis

What an amazing way to describe architecture!

Something, we architects, have to always remember-to come outside the building...

realm of imagination

Incredible drawings by Alexander Brodsky and Ilya Utkin from the group of Soviet artists in the late 80s, known as Paper Architects.
