As you can imagine, now I’m back in Tasmania life has slowed down a little, meaning that I’m posting less often as the other ‘real’ thing in my world take priority. This is great as it means that I’m not spending 16 hours a day in front of the laptop, but also confirms that i should set some time aside for posting and thinking as well.
So to make up for it I decided to post a heap of photos of my two day stop over in london on the way home. The images above are of the Architecture Associations DRL 10 c-space pavillion, which is a competition open to current and past DRL students (i think). This year it was won by two guys who are architects with Future Systems (I also think). More info on the official blog.
This one is also a pavillion by the AA, this time by second and thurd year students. It make you see what can happen when you ahve alot of money for student projects (smell the jealously). I was very luck as this opened the day i was there, so my daytime photos (not posted, only on flickr) still show the hoarding around the site. There is heaps of great info available here.
Promenade by Anthony Caro, as a part of the Royal Academy of Art’s courtyard summer series.
Poly & Chai by Chinese architect Yung Ho Chang as a part of the Victoria & Albert Museum’s China Design Now exhibition.
And finally, two of the large graffiti pieces on the front wall of the TATE Modern.
So that was the end of Europe for me for a while, and now my life is back in Tasmania where I am teaching with the School of Architecture and working at jaws architects. Hopefully they will bring as much enjoyment as my time in Barcelona – it’s a tough ask, but I’m sure they will be better. After all, I’m now finally home.
