most architects don't know how to dance or throw parties

except ashe house!
they know

has anyone seen le dernier combat?
movie is badass!

A friend told me that architecture was like an abusive spouse. You keep loving them, and they just keep hitting you.

Another friend recently told me that architecture was your girlfriend(who you love) for the past four years that you just proposed to, but she said no.

I'm not sure where I fall anymore in relationship to architecture. Maybe we've just fallen out. Maybe it's not me and architecture, just the institutions that keep us apart.

I'm not sure what I'm doing after I graduate this May. I had a number of options and even a *gasp* plan, but things don't seem to be working out. Part of it is obvious reasons, the other is... pure mystery.

Regardless, it looks like I'm going to be diversifying. Hopefully nothing too juvenile!

the next year, how up in the air it is
guessing its probably same for everyone else graduating
it's either a research grant or a restaurant!

neither of which i would mind

i'm getting tired of the weather here. it's spring break.

i'm spending this spring break rather quietly, working on a quantity of things at a comfortable pace(8AM-5PM) everyday, things ranging from fellowship applications to chairs, watches to fashion shows, djing to... zumthor. movies too.

spent a good three hours getting the norwegian maple ready for the chair, lots of knots and twists, now just side-side gluing... and of course the steel work.

maybe

sorry for the f-bombs

I dare not discuss the epistemological implications of the laser cutter.

i'm doing something architectural this semester(apart from job hunting, applying to 5th yr.) involving research and love and the baroque and things.

in the meanwhile
i made pens
now onto sporting goods

rollin rollin rollin
aint slept in weeks

images can be seen in some vague essence at the bottom here along with everything else i've had a chance to vague-essence

I'm done with architecture coursework for the next 6-18 months(depending on state of things). We're required to apply for to the 5th Yr program to have an accredited degree, and fortunately we can defer enrollment for up to a year.

I'm hoping to work, travel, re-read, etc. In that sense it's liberating. Thinking about jobs is another thing.

Now just to plug away at this printed portfolio...

people still use those?
