Ok. Now I've been laughing for half an hour in a public Computer room (aka library like atmosphere) because of this news thread. I am not sure whether it is that funny or rather sad, but I still enjoyed it. Nevertheless, I think architects are good and facile material for humor... then again, you... View full entry

I've been told not to write about school as nobody wants to read that. Marlin says ´everybody just wants to read a good story´. I often enjoy imaging each persons path in life like a string. Brightly colored. Each new more or less significant... View full entry

I have it! I can't believe it! I finally got the temporary student card and ran to the library with it. Anyone can guess what book I first took? Well, let's just say point number 3 is history. Another good thing is that the sun is finally doing its duty and I'll be able to just sit around the city... View full entry

I just wanted to settle a thing. People tend to believe that southern Spain is all about fiesta and siesta. I admit I didn't really help with my previous posts neither. But the thing is that it's not really like that. This school for example, is pretty hard: students have a very busy schedule and... View full entry

I've introduced you to the term ”˜botellon' now let's see how it's done. Since the first day I've been told that you don't go out before 22 o'clock (streets are empty) and if you are really cool you leave your home at 12. Several hours you drink on the streets: u get a beer from a bar... View full entry

yep, still cold. beer, whisky, rum, they usually work, but when in school it´s a bit harder. though, from my experience, alcohol stimulates speaking foreign languages. i might give it a try. until now there isn´t much to say about school. {!^]?}yesterday was Andalucia... View full entry

looking back i have noticed i avoided all the time to post pictures of projects or work from my school. why?! for me the answer is easy and sad. it's again the story of the first three years of school which were fab, and the last 2 which were ... i can't even describe it, something like a flat...

did i just wrote that? only 3 days left?! after an 'almost all nighter' (do 3 hours of sleep count?) i find myself asking questions i thought were long forgotten, the kind of rookie-arch-student questions regarding time, sleepless nights, life outside the studio (is there anything at all outside...

one of the funniest things on museum tours (especially in places like Louvre) is the 'interaction' with other tourists. you can probably find prototypes of all nations in this world. and it's nice to observe them, to notice typical behaviours: the asians are always tight together, just follow the...

if you are into museums, you can't miss palais de tokyo. it's right next to the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris and it tries to be something different. it's been my second time here, again disappointed. the space, though apparently enormous, is not big at all. you finish the...

As we arrived on the night before New year's eve in Paris, the 31st was reserved for some supplies and a quick first look around.
