DEAD ON

Dead-Lines

My current studio project is turning out to look somewhat like this. The picture is a rendering of the Almaty Science Campus in Kazakhstan, and was designed this year by Rem Koolhaass. My prof just e-mailed me this link with the exclamation "Work Hard" after going over what I had drawn up on Tuesday:

I should have decent renderings like this by THIS Tuesday when the project is due. Our crits are scheduled from Wednesday to Friday and then we have a very welcome 3 week study break before we start up classes in November. This weekend is going to be interesting. . . .

Am I

I live about a 15 minute walk from here in an apartment with my host family, Gitte and Morton. Gitte is a type of pedagogue; she deals with learning impaired children and diagnosis there problems. Morton is a very tall and skinny 17 year old. He plays badminton, soccer, horseback ridding, swimming, and he is also a member of a leftist political youth club.
Thus far I have had the pleasure to go to badminton, and horseback riding practice, swim in the community center, and go rowing with Gitte in the morning 3 times before it got too cold.

Export

Today I saw import/export as part of the Copenhagen film festival. It was pretty depressing but very interesting. The movie was about a young (broke) Austrian man and a young (average?) Ukrainian woman who end up in opposite places. There is definitely way more to describe . . .

The movie had a pretty substaintal impact on me and now I don't want to grow old. As soon as I go imobile someone please pull the plug on the machines that are keeping me alive. The happiest parts of he movie are when the guy, pauli is playing with this pit bull and when a group of cleaning ladies are chillin/luaghing together. There is some connection here that i really enjoy. Anyway crazy, i like it, and the architecture was just as depressing as the film.
