One day, if an architectural historian write a book, and there should be a chapter of ‘Between 20c and 21c.’ with title of ‘Dubai and Beijing Olympic.’1 And OMA and Hadid’s works will be there, too.
Gift from J-bro. Thank you. Little bit scary though.
His PhD paper on “A stduty on the possibilities and prospects of the re-creation of social capital in the region through cooperation with university”
+ Lowdown 30′s EP: another side of Jaira.
Me and Seohong’s work won the honorable mention from Shinkenchiku’s competition in Japan. Still I regret to compromise at some point. Well, that’s my limitation to overcome.
Yet, it’s not officially announced, and concerning of copyright, I should not upload this material, whatever. It’s just small thumbnail. I’ll explain more later… (when?)
Opening Terminal makes me feel being hacker or something. All I can do is just typing some command as google shows to me for deleting files which is not deleted by FTP client or backing up DB or FTP. Even with that simple one line command, I miss-type several times. Haha. However, for more ‘hacker-like’ feeling, theme of terminal is 8bit style.
Whatever the given context is, keeping it is not, at least, minus. Even though its historical background1, makes those nautical element cheesier, its history and memory could be delivered to the new design in 2004. I appreciate the successor to keep the element. The new designer seemed to have few choices2, though. However, it seems like he/she kept design language, I doubt that just using same circle guarantee the continuity of design. Simply bring its superficial elements and decorate them with recent material and fashionable manner will be another old-fashioned in future. – Actually it looks already out of fashion.
Then, what? If the portholes or nautical element, whatever is not the essential point of the design, what can be? I think it is its evenness and flatness. Imagine the portholes to square or triangle. I don’t think it will change that much. That means the circle shape is not crucial point of design. They kept parts, and changed body. – Of course I believe body and parts are equally important.
However if I design, I’ll do the same thing. It would be easier to persuade the client. Moreover, being fashionable or doing fashionable is more selective, for it brings next consumption. – I should learn fashion.
I thought it would be horrible joke before it’s done. However, master is master. Dr.Evil Jean Nouvel’s windows joke was not just joke. This building’s main elevation is the other side, but this side which can be seen from the High-Line also shows fantastic composition of basic elements of elevation.
Finished Cowboy bebop, X-Files begins with Hulu+ subscription. Even I have never watched from TV,1 now I can see why it’s so great show. It’s really well-made TV show other than its year’s sci-fi TV shows. It deserves 9 seasons.2 Moreover, more seasons give me more time not to finding other shows. Thanks.
Look at this vintage opening, so 90′s video!
Whenever I feel slow reaction (even freezing) of my iPhone 3GS, I hate that useless and stupid multitasking update of iOS 4. Also frustrated with Apple’s new hardware only policy.
I’m still bound under the 2 year contract!
