2nd year in a nutshell

Hello again! My personal blogging got lost for a while there, after many posts with emphasis on the Digital Spaces elective. I concluded it with a simple Facebook application and a cool animated exhibition, which is still available if you'd like to try it out!

I did other things that semester too! The design project was for a Museum of Chairs, located along the Royal Mile in Edinburgh - as surveyed by the group. My concept explored the integration of a "path through time" of selected chairs, with the existing history of the site and a neighbouring city museum.

Semester two actually started before Christmas as we left for a site survey of Barcelona and the Poblenou district. Thankfully, it was so much more than just work - lots of fun, sightseeing and spanish "revision".

My proposal for a dance centre seeks to be a cultural catalyst in the current redevelopment of the industrial area. Its social ambitions are metaphorically expressed by the four stages of Boléro (or indeed any dance?): promenade, crossing/steps, interaction and gesture.

All in all, I think it's been a successful year with lots of both fun and work, most of the time blending into what one may call Architecture.
