So I interviewed at Metamechanics LLC in NYC and well I hired myself, I figured I've worked hard and I deserve a job...15 hour days so far, including weekends. Partner in Florida pulled in a restaurant job and I am still finishing up a high-end retails space in City Center Philly...2 built projects after a month of true existence...Metamechanics may be on a roll...doing competitions on the side of course, to keep the edge going.
I am also participating in the FC Barcelona stadium design exhibition with Anna Pla Catalla, which will take place around September 20 in Barcelona. Very cool stuff, surfaces, stadiums, and language....more in depth to come later
check out this publication when it gets to your school, partipated in submitting something, which will be up on their website soon I hope.
a much needed publication
I kind of slacked off this semester on covering Russo's seminar, which was interesting to say the least. I was looking at fungi and their energies within an ecological perspective.
Ed Keller came in for Russo's seminar and gave a lecture about many things, but what interested me most was his idea "the will of what you might be studying" (not his words, but the concept)
another cool lecture given in Russo's seminar was given by a lady from Lucent Technologies about the fiber-glass properties of the sponge Venus Basket and how it actually outperforms our best fiber optic creations. Joanne Aizenberg

obviosly i have no idea if those are correct, i'm just an architect...

The reason one would return to grad school after working 4-5 years is because you hate the same old praxis crap you're exposed to everyday. But you are also very aware of the overwhelming amount of BULLSHIT academia spends hours on trying to cram down students throats, so the question becomes why...
The more I research subjects I initially was very interested in the more confused I get. Back to being confoozeled (how do you spell that?)Studio Kieran Timberlake “Systems” I figured I would go to the source of this whole “complexity” and “emergence” thing and...
