a gift from N.Y.C

Big thanks to John Hill from A Daily Dose of Architecture and W. W. Norton Publisher for sending me Guide to Contemporary New York City Architecture handbook. This book contains short stories about the N.Y.C buildings which has a contemporary architectural style and is also some guide map to reach the building site. I Hope it useful for my lectures and also for other people.

Arsitektur yang Lain

"Arsitektur yang lain" by Avianti Armand, recommended by my friend Ica. ting! ;D This book is a collection of essays that contains architectural criticism and several stories. Very informative and sometimes I laugh when reading it and sometimes I say "ooo, hmmm". I really liked a chapter entitled Arsitek Indonesia=Arsitek Dunia. Here's told that in fact Indonesia has accomplished architect and recognized internationally but less well known in Indonesia, which is their own country. Moreover, there's a lots of little things that is very crucial that had never occurred to me. love this book!

Review : Harmonization Between Drawing and Imagination

Strawberry Swing-Coldplay

Animator Group? yup! They are called Shynola and not a boyband or something like that. Animator, motion graphic artist and video maker from England. Consists of Chris Harding, Richard Kenworthy and Jason Groves. At first they were consist of four personnell but one of them, Gideon Baws, passed away due to illness. One of those works that amaze me is the video clip from Coldplay-Strawberry Swing. In this video I found something about harmonization between drawing and imagination. It's awsome!

Strawberry Swing-Coldplay

Songwriters: Berryman, Guy Rupert; Buckland, Jonathan M; Champion, Will; Martin, Christopher A J

 And every moment was so precious
They were sitting, they were talking in the strawberry swing
And everybody was for fighting, wouldn't wanna waste a thing

Cold, cold water bring me 'round
Now my feet won't touch the ground
Cold, cold water what you say?
It's such, it's such a perfect day, it's such a perfect day

I remember we were walking pp to strawberry swing
I can't wait 'til the morning, wouldn't wanna change a thing
People moving all the time inside a perfect straight line
Don't you wanna curve away?
It's such it's such a perfect day, it's such a perfect day

Ah, now the sky could be blue, I don't mind
Without you it's a waste of time
Could be blue, I don't mind
Without you it's a waste of time
