“It seems to me that ambitious expression designates an act of giving a form to sensible flesh, a delicious act always to be began again, but one that requires annihilation of self, of self-consciousness.”

Is it anti Avant Garde to like the last century’s avant garde? To find such inspiration there in aesthetics as well as some ideas?

“If your everyday life seems poor, don’t blame it; blame yourself; admit to yourself that you are not enough of a poet to call forth its riches; because for the creator there is not poverty and no poor, indifferent place.”

On the way to see you// Chillax 2015.

Oscillating between loving this city, missing that other city, craving some other city. Disliking them and liking them in oscillating phases. Not knowing where it is I want to spend more time. Not knowing where to start my professional career.

Need to work on shutting down the doubt-fueling demons.

“Place attachments are emotional bonds that form between people and their physical surroundings. These connections are a powerful aspect of human life that inform our sense of identity, create meaning in our lives, facilitate community and influence action.”

Stained Glass. 2014

Last night Herzog spoke about creating imprints onto concrete and compared it to stained glass windows. He spoke of materials and different ways to interpret transparency. I realized some of my favorite aspects of architecture have to do with Herzog and de Meuron. I don’t know if it’s an imprint because somehow I ended up with a case study of theirs in undergrad which would translate to one of my favorite projects. I don’t know what came before but the point is the more I learn about the detail in their work the more I realize I connect with those aspects of design.

Anyway, I like recognizing my influences and since he stuck around, I decided to go up to him, introduce myself, thank him and tell him what an influence he has been. This is way of character for me but I thought why not. I would regret not trying. I shook his hand, thanked him, and told him what an influence his firm has been, and he was so incredibly awkward. It looked like he wanted to run away. I don’t know why but it’s okay- I think. In the end I realized anyone can be uncomfortable amongst new situations, even your heroes. My moments of social awkwardness can also be shared by my heroes. In the end banality the banality they say they would like to embrace may be weirder for them then they realize. Maybe it’s only a fetichizing of the banal but not really engaging with it. (Or maybe I really do look like a creep) So I guess what I am trying to say is that if you make your heroes uncomfortable then at least you have done that- they have felt something/someway towards you.

And I’m just mostly glad I had an ounce of chutzpah and insanity to do so. This is progress for me? Haha
