life and soul

Friday, March 4th, 2005

A while ago I had the pleasure of suggesting a good book to Peter over at tesugen.com. He has repaid the favour twice over by encouraging me to read What Is Architecture? by Paul Shepheard. I read it during the Christmas holidays, being sure to carry a pencil with me at all times so that [...]

musical chairs

Wednesday, January 12th, 2005

Everything’s connected at some level.

I’ve uploaded the sketch of the Orgone chair, as promised in a previous entry, and added some notes on the flickr.com page.

The Lesson of Movement

Tuesday, December 14th, 2004

Either I’m getting weaker, or banana skins are getting stronger.
Tonight’s entry is inspired by my previous comments about Oscar Naddermier, my first architectural history lecturer. I returned to his notes and decided that they should be shared with you. Oscar preferred his students to be listening rather than writing, so he always typed out his [...]
