location.

3 words to choose:

Artists

Maria Helena Viera Da Silva (1908-1992)

The relevance of her works with Jorn Utzon's is to me a similar obsession with horizontal planes. These create an indefinite in-between space which is redundant in Utzon's sketches.

Egypte

(1948)

Biblioteca

(1949)

L'issue lumineuse

(1983-86)

Gordon Matta-Clark (1943-1978)

The geometrical cuts of Matta-Clark through buildings remind of Utzon's geometrical technique that gave birth to the final shape of the Opera House's shells.

Food For Thought - Steve Jobs on 'Design'

Steve Jobs: The Next Insanely Great Thing  
By Gary Wolf  
The Wired Interview

Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course, if you dig deeper, it's really how it works. The design of the Mac wasn't what it looked like, although that was part of it. Primarily, it was how it worked. To design something really well, you have to get it. You have to really grok what it's all about. It takes a passionate commitment to really thoroughly understand something, chew it up, not just quickly swallow it. Most people don't take the time to do that.

Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things. And the reason they were able to do that was that they've had more experiences or they have thought more about their experiences than other people.
Unfortunately, that's too rare a commodity. A lot of people in our industry haven't had very diverse experiences. So they don't have enough dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solutions without a broad perspective on the problem. The broader one's understanding of the human experience, the better design we will have.

High School Project

Since my high school days takes us a long long time ago, the number of creative works done during my legal studies being none, I shall submit to you the first assignment involving creativity given to us by Mr Peter Murray, our Architectural technology teacher. The brief was to make a artefact out of wood which would fit into a 75x75x75 mm box. I've modeled the artefact with C4D sofware.

Inspirational Architecture

If I tell you that I fell into architecture because I fell in love with a beautiful French-Argentinian architecture student, you will probably think that its a bit cliche coming from a French guy. Well, it's the truth. Nonetheless, there are many architectural projects which pushed me further into it. The Epicentre 2 by Herzog & de Meuron would be one of my favorites and I was lucky to be in Japan for a few days to physically experience the seamless interior space and play with the dressing room opaque to transparent glass.

Original Photograph

This picture was taken while studying Bernard Tschumi's urban park at La Villette in Paris. The "Geode" which is the 3D cinema theatre look as if it just fell from the sky in the middle of nowhere and is dematerialized by its reflective surface.
