Family House in Melnik by Stutek Architects
Family House in Melnik (2009-2012) by Stutek Architects.
Great house design. I love the window details that alternate between the facades. Very simple, robust and clean.

“Ironically it is the absence of British Punk’s revolutionary ethos that limit’s...”
– Quote from Spaghetti Westerns: The Birth of Cynicism by Armond White.
I was always wondering why I did not like The Good, The Bad and The Ugly as much as Once Upon A Time in the West and Duck, You Sucker (A Fistful of Dynamite). Anyhow, I just ordered Alex Cox’s book 10,000 Ways to Die. I am...

Looper Rising
Is Looper going to be an out of control sci-fi hit now that it is the opening night headliner for TIFF 2012? I have largely kept out of the media loop (ha) for Rian Johnson’s latest film so that I will not get influenced by spoilers or production news… which might be overkill/irrelevant considering the guy from Primer was an acting consultant for the time travel stuff.
I am excited...

I used to design this way...
Photographs of a house in Kyobate by Horibe Naoko Architect Office in Nara-Shi, Japan.

I used to design like this. I loved Piranesian interiors of interlocking volumes and planes. Now I look at it and it seems a bit too aggressive—everything is intersecting for the sake of intersecting. There is no being or wonder in a place that appears completely designed like a fussy jigsaw...

A Brief Note on Prometheus, Milton, and Mary...
In a funny kind of way, if you look at the Engineers, they’re tall and elegant … they are dark angels. If you look at [John Milton’s] Paradise Lost, the guys who have the best time in the story are the dark angels, not God. He goes to all the best nightclubs, he’s better looking, and he gets all of the birds. [Laughs]
Interview with Ridley Scott about the themes of Prometheus.

Biblioteca Nacional y Universitaria NUKII
National and University Library NUKII (20??-20??) by Hidalgo Hartmann in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
I used to design just like this. A public building composed of two grey building volumes wrapping around or puncturing each other floating above the ground plane… Yeah, I am a boring designer.

Joy! Division!
Just digging up my old Joy Division records… I cannot describe how amazing the live version of Disorder is on Still. A healthy dose of gloom is always needed. What a perfect way to spend Easter weekend.

Reusing big box stores across America →
This work is archived by Julia Christensen during her travels from the eastern seaboard to the midwest of America. One of the examples is a design school in Savannah, Georgia that seriously looks like a stand-in for the school of architecture I am attending.

Ryerson Architecture Mobile App (RULA Maps... →
Gotta spread the love. An app for indexing Toronto’s architecture by Professor Vincent Hui from Ryerson University. A promising ‘wiki’ resource compiled by volunteering architecture students. I am interested in the suggested multimedia possibilities.
