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"?

L.A.
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

rendering
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.

tall tower
jeez.... plans are under way for a tower that is more than a mile tall.
originally planned by Hyder Consulting from england, designed by Omrania from Saudi Arabia, and engineered by arup from england, the entire thing is managed by the us's bechtel.
insane project....
the next tallest tower in the world is only half this height. its like four empire state buildings stacked on top of each other

i'm surprised its taken me so long to look at this guy.... i'm kind of a francophile, but this guy defies what i'm used to, but its still pretty sweet.
this is a project for a parking lot/ outdoor exhibition space.
according to roche the project has three aspects:
"1) Asphalt Drop on the site
2) Twisting the black surface of the car park to integrate indoor/outdoor rooms (cellar and facilities)
3) Visitors are tempted to drive or walk up the slope as a way to handle their own disequilibrium. "

so.... i was reflecting on the fact that i did little to nothing this weekend. so... in honor of this great accomplishment, i'd like to present you with my five top weekends muses. nothing like a countdown to kill time eh?
5. The 80's
The music and clothes have distracted me multiple times this weekend at bars and driven me to (gasp) dance...
4. Adobe Flash
I have spent so much time playing around with this program and surprisingly getting very little done. Its amazing to see stuff whirl about and spin out of control. makes me feel special that i can make stuff do this. I got one animation done though but its pretty pitiful.
3. Bureau V
I'm pretty excited about their lecture coming up.... plus tell me these aren't some of the most attractive people/ architects ever.... and talented to boot
2. Females
Need I say more?
and yes, i know this is the cast from one of those mtv shows (can't remember which one) but I'm just using it as an example of hot girls that would never in a million years be interested in me.
1. PBR
Yes.... I believe this has kept me incapacitated (or at least played a major role). PBR=enemy of architecture, friend of architect.
