One year and 25.000 pounds later, all that you are left with is a booklet. Well it wasn’t all that bad. Actually, if I would have to do it all over again, I would probably choose the same program on AA - Landscape Urbanism. I really believe it is the right stuff, posing the right questions, seeking the right urban answers. Although a bit of a team spirit and organizational skills wouldn’t hurt the program at all. Another thing is, if you are not rigorous enough, you can soon fall into “meshing and hexagons” routine - very geometrically based methodology. But I guess that is always the case with programs that have a strong methodology, especially if the methodology is geometrically based - maybe it is time to re-examine it…

Before I went into this MA business, I got an advice from my ex boss and good friend Igor (Elastik), he said: ‘GO STRONG!’ I believe it is the best piece of advice ever. I hope I went strong - it is all yet to be seen.

Vocal Jazz

I got infected by vocal jazz when I was singing in Slovenian vocal group Perpetuum Jazzile. After 2 years in London I see that I really miss it - singing and jazz and all.

Listening to on line radios I came over a really great peace by Vox One called Chameleon, listen to it and you will see what I mean; maybe it will infect you to.

My yearly bookshelf

My yearly bookshelf
Procrastinating the day away and ordering the books by hight, I just realized that the books I acquired during the last year studying, is actually quite a good sum up of what I am interested in, what drives me in this strange architectural field. Maybe everyone should look into their bookshelves to understand better what he / she wants.

Well, it is certainly more fun than writing a long “Who am I” or “What am I interested in” for a job application, we might just as well send in pics of our bookshelves.

So, who can ever say that procrastination is nonconstructive?

It took me some time, but here it is - I updated my project and reshufeled the material.

All of the new material is put on to the page in sequential order under the category x_final project_x.

Direct links are as follows:

01: Brief and location of the project 02: Analysis 03: Reasons for the urban condition 04: Growth model 05: Local material inteligences
06: New corridors and nodes 07: Mixing node definition 08: Designing the process 09: Designing the node 10: Structured mixed grid

Shapeisms

Matrix, on matrix, on matrix; proliferations without a cause or reason. Still being stuck on instrumentalization of geometries. Is it really possible without succumbing to programmatic performance?

Eye for I

Well not any more - apparently. This I Mac roamed from my neighbor’s room to block’s corridor (sticking around for a week) and than transforming into a path-blocking device in front of the block.

A real shame for such an iconic I, a personification of a cult of wester individuality. Or is that just its pretend? What is actually hiding behind this I? I this, I that; everything I. When did the highly praised individuality and personal rights of wester cultural framework started to be so incredibly abused by corporate notions? The I is slowly transforming into WE, and this WE is delegated of course; subtly and patiently transforming us into obedient I-sumers.

Frustrated!

NO, it is NOT a background, damn it!

BBQ balkan style

Well; it was organized by Slovenians, but who said that Slovenians don’t know how to make pleskavice and cevapcici. It was a really great picnic (Thanks Urban). Hope to have another one soon; although the weather is not so generous anymore.

Oh, for all those who are wondering, where I got the AJVAR, click this miraculous link. There is a corner shop between Eversholt Rd. and Lidlington Pl.
