The surprising truth about what motivates us
Another film showed by our Management teacher. Yes, we get to see lots of pieces from films and interviews which I think is quite interesting!

What my life is like...
I knew there was a list somewhere with things about architecture students, I copied it here and removed the ones that weren't aplicable to me and added some comments and new ones :)
You Know You're An Architecture Student When:
- you're spending 90% of the time you're awake, behind the computer.
- you're quicker reachable on mail than with a cellphone (because of point above)
- you analyze everything as if it were a building.
- concept of time is not forward, but a countdown from the time a project is due ("What time is it?""4 hours 'till").
- you slice your finger, and the first thing you think of is if you'll be able to finish your model. and if it's presentable
- you say "It's only midnight- I have plenty of time to finish."
- you're not ashamed of drooling in class anymore, especially in Structures
- The idea that you have a room to live in outside of studio is just a myth.
- You draw perspectives of your friends room on your homework just for the fun of it.
- Whenever you finish a project and don't have any studio work to do, you are constantly wondering why you aren't in studio working
- You buy trace paper in mass quantities.
- You understand what 4B, 2B, B, HB, H, 2H, and 4H are and have lots of each type.

- The biggest decision you have to make near the end of the term is "pencil, or ink?"
- You always have a supply of bandaids around for xacto knife cuts.
- You have a 30, 60, 90 and a 45, 45, 90 degree triangle. Or two. Or three. Or more. (One for measuring, one for cutting, one that actually measures straight, one for if I've lost the other ones)
- You keep around adjustable triangles too just in case.
- You never have enough wall space to pin things up.
- You always have a supply of portable and non perishable food.
- You can go for days without sunlight. (You go to class in the dark, you come home in the dark).
- You put up everything on your walls with drafting tape.
- Push pins become a valuable commodity.
- Computers are known only as the white box of death. (They keep crashing on you).
- you can live without human contact, food or daylight, but if you can't print, it's chaos.
- Pencil smudges and ink smears are the bane of your existance.
- You start competing with each other for number of hours without sleep.

- you take notes and messages with a rapidograph and colour markers.

New way!
I'm going to take this blog on a whole other way.
First up, this will be in English
Secondly, this will be about architecture, things I've seen in real life, trips I've done with school or on my own and intersting things read on the internet.
Not for readers but for myself.
If you're reading this, that's good for you ;) and I hope you enjoy it!

Na 8 uur ontwerp
heb ik eindelijk mijn 3 trefwoorden bij mijn foto. Mijn moederbeeld was te letterlijk vertaald uit de foto: een lege pot choco (bij gebrek aan andere transparante doosjes) met daarin origami sterretjes die allemaal verschillen maar toch hetzelfde zijn (diversiteit), die je kan laten bewegen door te pot te draaien (kracht) en die rust moest er nog ergens tussen...
Dus mijn foto:
Trefwoorden of Ontwerppotenties: Diversiteit, Dynamiek, D Schakerend
Dus nu nog een moederbeeld maken bij deze trefwoorden en voorbeelden zoeken uit de architectuur, bv diversiteit kan je opnemen als verschil in de materialen of verschil in functies, hoogtes...
Mood: Gewoontjes
Muziek: Bonnie Tyler - Holding out for a hero

4. Lessen elke week bijhouden
5. Min. 1 keer per maand gaan zwemmen, goed voor de luchtwegen (zang) en conditie
6. Min. 1 keer per week te sporten.
7. Lezen wat ik wil gelezen krijgen: Wicked, De seriemoordenaar, Het verhaal van Morasaki

Eerste post
Hoi lezers!
Na wat googlen ben ik bij deze blog uitgekomen: http://kimtaurus.blogspot.com/
van iemand die net als ik in het 3de Bachelar architectuur zit.
Eigenlijk is dat een goede manier om de komende stress van me af te schrijven en informatie te geven aan degene die in Architectuur geinteresseerd zijn ;) en gewoon wat te babbelen over mijn vol stress/knutselen gevulde leven.
Okee, Let's start!
Dus bij Ontwerpstudio hebben we (net als een aantal vorige jaren) de opdracht gekregen om een 3G-woning te ontwerpen, een woning die onderdak biedt aan 3 generaties. Dit jaar gaan we een aantal (3) ontwerpmethodes uittesten, allereerst is het de beurt aan het metaforisch ontwerpen.
"Metafoor = lt. overdracht" De metafoor die we moeten gebruiken is 'het rizoom', een wortelstok.
Hierbij moeten we een foto vinden die recht doet aan deze metafoor.
(Kunnen we nog volgen?)
Uit deze foto worden dan max 3 kwaliteiten, trefwoorden gehaald die later zullen dienen als je ontwerppotenties.

Uit die laatste ben ik nog niet helemaal. (Massa is veranderd Rust, de zee, rust, je snapt het wel)
