too much time....

not having studio or really anything productive to do really isn't good...

here's a rather "racey" picture which I've entitled "Frank Gehry gives Rem Koolhaas a Golden Shower". Please don't be offended, but rather look at it in a conceptual light. Aren't we all, through our constant formal search for the "cool" or the "pleasant" just giving theorists a metaphorical "golden shower"?

no cd's for this thing. they just started building. kinda cool.

Late late late tonight, I leave for LA.
Twill be quite fun I'm sure.
rides and marshmallows and all that jazz.
but seriously, I have a feeling it will just be me, lots of architecture kids, some alcohol, and way too much to do in too little time.
we have tours of (in order of my excitement):
Morphosis (Thom Mayne)
Roto (Michael Rotondi)
NMDA(Neil Denari)
SciArc(Hernan and those guys...)
Frank Gehry Tech
Frank Gehry Office
Graft Lab

i'm not sure how to feel about this guy. like the form and stuff, but just don't get the space.... maybe too generic?

final review was friday... went pretty well. got some good feedback and my project prompted a debate among the reviewers which i guess is good.
reviewers were:
Michael Speaks
Julia Smyth-Pinney
Peyman Jahed
Jason Scroggin
Mike Jacobs
Hillary Bryon
David Biagi

Kind of intimidating... never had so many reviewers on a single jury.
