For me, this summer was all about beach paddle ball, bike rides, night walks, dive bars, exploring central park and roof-top prosecco. This fall, however, is going to be all about DISCIPLINE. That means resolving to live ‘better’ - which I intend to do by budgeting my time and money, being consistent and focused in my work and research and pushing myself to do more of the things that make me feel alive, healthy and productive.

(I took my first-ever architecture studio with him, he put a smiley face sticker on my ‘Exploration of a Line’ but sent me back to start from zero on my ‘Exploration of a Dot’. True story. Funny, right?)
Follow link for Russian summer-cabins and winter-shells. There is something captivating about this series of photos to me, I keep coming back. Presently working on some cabin research.
I read about this in the NYTimes a few weeks ago. Adaptive reuse of dumpsters, apparently as part of a larger scheme that would reactivate aged and obsolete shopping centers (and their parking lots) in Georgia. Brooklyn is the perfect test-market for this, Cabinet Magazine recently had a party there and of course it has been blasted all other the culture and design blogs (so I hear). I am looking to have one installed under the BQE in Fort Greene/Clinton Hill - night swimming in shadow with the shwoooshing of highway traffic overhead - dreamy.
Some interesting and very dense maps on this site. Haven’t had a chance to explore too much.
