If there was one word which I could forever delete from the dictionary, it would definitely be architecture. Whithout a blink.
Because there is nothing more annoying then the question ‘ but is that really architecture?’. Because it doesn’t stand for nothing that it actually could stand for. Because architects use it as an excuse for whatever they don’t have an answer for. Because it’s a word that shouldn’t be in any discussion regarding a project. And mostly because architects use it to define what they do.
I would actually start with banning it from school names.

Two brothers. One an incurable optimist (O), the other a hopeless pessimist (P). Christmas. The pessimistic brother gets tons of expensive gifts. The optimistic gets a horse shit. O: What did you get? P: I got so many expensive presents at once, that this is probably my last Christmas. I must have... View full entry
well... i guess it has been a while. or not?! basically, 1 1/2 months in Ny. somehow i have the feeling that whatever i want to say is ... pointless. i feel like at Mies's Barcelona Pavilion, where i knew that whatever picture i will try to take, it has been taken before. but let's try it anyway...

Hey, don't be bad and offer some support to the 'freshmen'. It is quite discouraging not to have a comment in the first posts ( I had my first comments only when I posted pictures of getting my tongue pierced - which makes me wonder btw...). Great to see the diversity and appetite of the new... View full entry

It doesn't necessarily pay of, but it's one of the few 100% true things. The morning is the most critical part of a relationship. The first morning and the shoes. I miss a big city, though I have never lived in a really big city. I like big cities because you can always hide and escape. Or not? I... View full entry
...or anything else. Though I am only less then two weeks at home, I don't feel like having been away for 6 month. I guess that is why they call it home. We flew in a small village, at the vacation house, where I spent most of my summers since 92. I feel more connected to this house then to the... View full entry
I just realized I haven't been eager at all to show anything about Seville or Barcelona. With Seville it's easy: I got the camera in my last week there, week in which I had absolutely no time/mood for pretty much anything. As about Barca... I saw it in 3-4 days, some of it. For some reason (or... View full entry
Here is my ”˜office' at the airport. - the only place with power outlets!!! So: home after 6 month. Will make it short: Mom cooks great Cities look worse then in memory In the same time they offer great photo opportunities Dog is happy to see me - wasn't angry at all! Still didn't get...

Remember the coffee in valencia ? Now, I didn't mind getting stranded in Valencia ... I didn't mind waiting today 4 hours for the plane (delay!!!), I mean, I was considering I'm still in BCN... Some hours later, extremely tired and with a huge delay I land in an extremely cold (this sounds... View full entry
What are the chances? In general... for anything. Is everything ”˜prefabricated' or are we more like leaves carried by the wind? Still think though that life is an accident. A crash. A fall. A chance. A flight. And definitely a fight. that's the charm. Ever felt you have a secret... View full entry
What are the chances of an airport strike on the day that you need a plane? - I guess that is the idea of strikes... What are the chances that you didn't charge the laptop battery exactly on this day? Are airports supposed to have wifi internet? What are the chances that the company is so terrible...

I was writing in the past weeks several blogs... in my mind. Waiting for answers, way too many questions, heat, time and some surrealist circumstances........ Well, let's see where we are now: I am still working in Seville in an office - 2 more days I got the scholarship at the Politecnico di... View full entry
cred ca e mai misto sa fii alcoolic in europa decat orice in romania. sau aproape. anyway, e prea tare aici si noi frecam plua in romania :( ma scuzati :) In the end it is a pretty sad conclusion... I look around and see the desire to live abroad in all my friends' eyes. We weren't like that. We... View full entry
I found this ticket by mistake in a bus. Don't ask me how. The first row is the bus number, the third the hour and the forth, the date. What I especially liked, besides the more or less obvious pattern (also known as routine) is the fact that 2 times he/she didn't return home alone. That's nice... View full entry
it's been a while... i feel like i haven't posted in years, though they are only few new posts... guess it's summer! here it is getting warmer and warmer, the nights nicer and nicer. confusion never comes to an end. in 2 or 3 weeks i might get a camera. i will post pics. in all this period i have...

Well, strangely enough... no progress here. As in all the last weeks, I'm hoping for the next one to answer my questions. Does time really solve things? On a Saturday, at 6 a.m., at an open air club, the bodyguard asked me what my age is! Unconsciously I was about to say 16, turn around and get... View full entry
Dreams, things that are too good to become reality, but keep you always going. what is more important: the road or getting there?! Mine: a room, top floor, historical center of a nice city, with a big balcony. big doors wide open, a bit windy. inside: nice music from a laptop on which i am... View full entry
”˜I have been dying to ask you this: how does it feel to be an "international" student? How different is Romania in general from Spain? Is it easy to cope with? I am an international student myself. I'm the only Indian in the entire architecture and design school here! It sounds as if... View full entry
I guess life is still moving on, with or without us. The word life has suddenly a totally different meaning. It has a meaning. Weird. Kids!!! Resaca = hangover I've been to a conference held by Antonio Ortiz, from Cruz and Ortiz . It's funny when an architect speaks rather uninterested about his... View full entry
