Part one.

Archinet, now there's a waste of a couple of hours. And because it's educational (sometimes only in the broadest sense) it neither; feels like a real break, nor is it particularly productive. Any hoo, today my rss has flagged up two stories whose headlines sent me back thinking about the workshop I took part in, in Budapest.

'Outside the big box' archinect.com

and 'Brand building' archinect.com

Realising this will probably be the death throws of a conversation about 'outside the box' leads me to...

Part two.

I'd like to make a plea on behalf of my final University project... I really need good quality photos of both the finished box in location, and photos of the group working in our dynamic way.

I would also really appreciate any good pictures of Tuzracter (please forgive the spelling) or any of the other student type places that were reused old industrial buildings. Because being a student I have done something very similar and nothing mainstream really fits as good description and I am too poor to even fly back to BCN to take the final pictures of the site I am working on let alone Budapest... starting to ramble, so will stop now.

After all this architecture reading I deserve a break, so it's time for a cup of tea and a penguin biscuit.

Hvaså dér!

I'm going to Barcelona with a group of designschool archischool students 11-16th March an I'm looking for some tips concerning places to go, people to see. I know about most of the sights, been there did that etc. but I want to find some of the hidden jewels of Barcelona. Cool design and architectcompanies that we could visit, a local guide with immense knowledge of architecture and design. Any ideas? P-p-please contact me,

Forever grateful - Fredrik (Denmark, easa 99/03/04)
