my brother, friend, and I use to steal bikes in the neighborhood next to ours, customize them in the abondoned homes(so cool we had a workshop), then ride by on our new creations. so much fun yet so evil.
we use to bust down peoples fences and build tree houses in the woods behind our house. there were many vacant homes in our neighborhood at the time. we called ourselves the tanaka clan.....now kids just play wii all day....oh so sad.
we were about 8 and 9 years old. our workshop got busted when people moved in the house. such a sad day.
now I love to design things out of thrash....oh all those child hood experiences
:
I set up a psuedo-society in the woods near my house with my cousins and neighbors. It was a veritable utopia with tree forts and ample imagination. Once complacency had set in amongst my prepubescent playmates, however, I made myself president, appointed a crony general, and tried to extract taxes. When this failed, I declared war by way of a massive surprise snowball assault. In retrospect, it's probably better that this effort was defeated, thus quelling my lust for power. This probably all came as a result of watching too much C-Span as a child, coupled with the angst of not being allowed to drink soda.
We had this survey in first year studio late one night and basically all the people we asked (minus a few who realized they were in the wrong major and changed) had lego addictions as children.
Have you seen loitering laws, trespassing laws, vandalism laws et cetera?
A could goes to build a fort in the woods and gets dragged out by the state police and faces up to 5 years in prison these days. Who wants to mess with that?
I did almost exactly now what I did as a child. Smoked cigarettes, reading too much, plotting my escape from this state and being a subversive smartass.
Listening to the latest hip hop in Philly in the late 70s and early 80s, writing my own ryhmes, going to clubs and block parties to see the latest neighborhood dj’s and MCs,(cosmic Kev, Perry P, grand masters of funk, grand master Nell, disco rat),taking the subway downtown to the Gallery mall to see girls , the skyscrapers and the latest World War 2 model kits at the Allied Hobies store.
Drawing and designing buildings, skylines, cars, buses, subways and spaceships. Reading volumes of World War 2 encyclopedias, watching the World at War documentary....studying the history and performance of World war 2 tanks, planes and ships, reading encyclopedias of a World war 2 tanks. Building numerous modle kits of all of the most prominent tanks, airplanes and ships of World War 2 (over 20 models).
playing basketball daily for hours each day in the summer and playing football. Playing football (earning the team captain spot) and wrestling in highschool. Avoiding the pitfalls of fights and violence of Growing up in a big city in the 70s and early 80s. All of this has shaped and propelled me into a career in Architecture.
When I was a wee little child I used to build structures with Froebel blocks, draw houses, and make floor plans of my bedroom re-planning where my furniture could go. Oh and loved those big Duplo legos. Would also make houses for my stuffed animals and dolls out of random stuff and little towns too. Have always loved art whether it be painting, drawing, sculpture, etc.
what were your childhood hobbies

Legos.
Mutual funds, short sales, and risk management.
Legos,drawing buildings, throwing silverware from 5th floor.

Chasing the women
throwing bundles of things in the air, looking at the patterns they made on the ground - being slightly disappointed they didn't look 'random' enough
Legos, drawing

I also liked playing with Legos and swimming.
