i've been trying to neaten my room, but it feels like the mess just keeps migrating in a cyclical pattern, which makes me wonder... is the mess always one step ahead of me, or one step in my wake?

open plan to open lifestyle

*Contemporary Architect's Concept Series 4, Ryue Nishizawa

what is architecture, what is rock and roll?

is it the chords and the attitude, is it the walls and floors? all of it props to something larger and enigmatic, an end that eludes description. because, when you say what it is, that is when it becomes what its not.

you wont regret this

cuz we need a groove to dream to

"Typology and the Design Method", Alan Colquhoun

As opposed to Rob Krier or Rossi - a formulaic design method - but as a way to critically explore issues of meaning and convention and to address that gap in design: between the two polarities of rationalization and intuition.

We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.

T. S. Eliot

"beautiful, but ultimately frivolous. but maybe thats why its so beautiful, do you think? it has to be useless to be beautiful"

how do you gentrify without displacement?

the question is about dirtyness, mixing and friction. How does one plan for instability?
