    one busy week

    This has been one hell of a busy week! studio on monday = no weekend at all... but i did well, now im almost done with the program distribution.
    Whole tusday-wed was spent working on a chair for my digital construction and modeling class: a wodden chair made out of slices (a mix between aalto's chair and le corbusier's chaise long). Every student had to design a chair or redesign an existing one. I designed one by abstracting a rocking horse, but it was too expensive/difficult to build, so i joined my friend in the construction of his. Teacher's liked it, and recognized we did a good construction job on it. The chair turned out to be very resistant and comfortable.

    Good news is that it's this saturday is independence day !!!! 2 days of celebrations, and we got friday off so im heading to the beach with 2 friends from arch school. and now the bad news: I HAVE STUDIO CRITIC THIS MONDAY!!!!!!! but i choose not to stay and still leave to the beach and work on it this monday morning. Sounds lazy, but i really need a break after one stressful month, and im not being a whinner :) (all other colleges got the week off)
    Well, it's 2:21AM and im still working on my urbanism paper: elasticity, externalitys and mutations... it's very difficult for me, i never pay that much attention on a class based on economical theories, PIB, growing indexes and lots of charts :(

    the sector:

    I spent 1 hour modelling my sector on sketchup to have more fun. So, i'll finish this in the morning, turn it on.........and see you monday!
