receiving…

these scans last week in a lovely email from my once instructor, now friend.

Stephanie Bower

is an architect, illustrator and incredible inspiration.

I’m especially enamored with the work because it truly is a dying art.

[This work is from a couple of sketchbooks she filled on trips to Spain and India last fall - so beautiful!]

When did my sketchbook die?

Stupid iPhone.

finally…

getting my arse up to see

McQueen

[Savage Beauty]

and yes, it was completely magic.

The Pepper’s Ghost Technique (a hologram of Kate Moss) was an exhibit gem. A device that gives the illusion of a spirit, sometimes used in séances in the nineteenth century (so cool!)

watch

here

[the strings from Schindler's List were so eerie and perfect too]

And just for fun, my favorite show ever…the Byzantine inspired

[Fall/Winter 2010]

a couple of weeks ago…

I had the pleasure of attending a marvelous presentation given by the wonderful

Bijoy Jain

of

Studio Mumbai

@

The Architectural League

 

the work becomes  so much more beautiful (if that’s even possible) when you imagine the construction and design team sleeping on site under glass lanterns hanging from the trees, and lovely women in bright saris stopping by to trowel a floor on the way to a wedding…you could almost smell the monsoon water filling the perfect wells…

The magic of a proper process is an incredible inspiration,

even knowing that our version of the world is choosing Revit models over handmade ones.

Not particularly useful, but incredibly beautiful.

 

Thanks Scandinavia.
