tacos at dawn

2013-05-14T10:17:00-04:00

I am an intern working for Tatiana Bilbao's office to supplement my architecture and urban tourism addiction. This blog will focus on my free time, which I mostly spend trying to get to grip on the astounding breadth and depth of the city via museums, taco stalls, parks, forgotten monuments, obscure corners, public space, and avoiding death by cars, death cults, muggings, volcanoes, and taco stalls.

The Soft City

2013-05-06T06:00:00-04:00

The purpose of The Soft City is to question the motives and ideology behind our urban spaces. As urban users, we are active elements within a city. We have the ability to shape the city surrounding us. Consequently the environment around us offers resistance to our interactions and reshapes us in turn. This continuous moulding and reshaping of people and space is directly reflected in our societies. This relationship will help form the key theme for the blog; who is architecture's public?

Soul of Architecture.....Art or Emotions??

2013-05-05T16:36:00-04:00

Thinking with a peaceful mind, one always wonders if art is architecture but as …. Then, the soul starts knocking on the door of mind, making it question if it is just art through its visual medium that connects/ binds architecture to humans or a bigger and more complicated force is at play. And yes, one realizes it then, that it is the human feelings...emotions…that make a piece of art architecture. Otherwise without it, it is just what it is, another piece of art.

Infamous Lines

2013-05-02T11:48:00-04:00

The technique of drawing is a very distinct architectural element. As Architects, we draw lines for notions of aesthetic, concept, as well as production. Drawing is considered an extension of our thoughts (concept) and vessel to communicate our ideas (technique). Every drawing however has imbedded in it a signature, expression, and authenticity. What is the relationship between lines and our individual design ideologies?

Architecture is...

2013-04-06T18:03:00-04:00

I come across very interesting studies and experiments in general context, that can be applied to architecture and design in creative ways. From Autodesk research and development Articles, innovative technology to control Arduino, to my opinions and analysis on the influence of Tadao Ando's architecture in Mexico. My objective is to push the boundaries of research and development borrowing from professional field's in and outside of architecture, as well as sharing current research and work.

encountering [ The Void ]

2013-04-01T19:41:00-04:00

It all begins with a blank void until a naive image evolves into a poetic vision. Seeking to capture the progression of the multitude of phases that a designer experiences, exploration of any graphical drawings, sketches, models, layouts, presentation boards, renders, etc. is encouraged here.

No Master

2013-03-22T15:16:00-04:00

No Master is a concept for a peer driven study program aiming to capture the benefits of an accredited master’s program without the school. Aimed at working architects and design professionals who wish to develop their professional growth. No Master - play on words: 1 Architects (master builders) without a master’s degree. 2 No school or teachers but but a peer review process, no masters just students 3 Ronin - masterless samurai, term for a secondary school graduate not admitted to university.

aaura - Designs

Architecture acquired through a divine inspiration of designs and creating something to remember. The structures simply compliments the nature enhancing the feeling of belonging in a stress free environment. Interior designs would always have a very strong connection with the outdoors, including a seamless transition from one room to another that may remind one of the layout of an art gallery. Simple but striking! Design of any house incorporates and ensures natural light penetrating......

NYC Architecture in Decay

2013-02-12T14:23:00-05:00

Since the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s and beyond, urban decay has been associated with Western cities, especially in North America, South America and some parts of Europe. Since then, major structural changes in global economies, transportation, and government policies created the economic and then the social conditions resulting in Progressive Urban Decay. Here I'll highlight the Architectural Decay of New York City the way I see it.
