"The design gathers inspiration from the northern lights and the dramatic Icelandic nature." from arcspace

Henning Larsens Tegnestue, in collaboration with the icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson, has been awarded 1st prize in the International competition for a new Concert and Congress Centre.

Architecture has, once again, redefined its position as the most influential creative discipline. Perfecting environments, both offline and online. This was the description of Diamond + Schmitt on TAXI.

fuck mondays

Its monday afternoon just after 5pm - I feel as if I've just started my day being taken away yet again from my desk (& importantly my coffee) to meet/discuss/have dialogue about things that people assume I have expertise on...less time to do what I want/need to do design or even draft.

Instead I spend my time holding peoples hands taking them through the motions. I've just admitted that I am more stressed than I let on.

Jane get me off this crazy thing.

Antigua

this was the view I had in Antigua on my way returning to Montserrat. Granted my vision was a little hazed as I was nursing a hangover from a little too much red wine the night before.

Colourful isn't it? A bit harsh with the selection but apparently this is (what they think) people recognise the Caribbean Architecture. Hmm...

If you click on the image it should take you to a close-up of the St Johns Cathedral in the background.

back from Barbados

Well I'm officially back from Barbados, and have much to show. Thanks to Architect Israel Mapp - who took me touring on some nifty architectural sites, I will be posting much of that in few moments, as well those folks at the EU delegation Paul Mondesir & Rory McGaw for being good hosts.
