My visit to Prague

I went to Prague for the past few days to run away from the everyday chaos. It was smaller then I expected but nonetheless enjoyable and most of all, relaxing. I did find myself looking for architectural features, I know how building can be abit repetitive, but I am drawn to hierarchies, repetitions, seperations, etc in the form of things that sits around it like logs, alleyways and even pumpkin. I even manage to get a quick photo of the Dancing House which seems to sit alone by the riverside. I am going to start looking at competitions again, I know it is going to be tougher but that makes it even more challenging and fun. Here are some of the pictures I would like to share.

My passion for design still REIGNS within!

It is a time where recession is still hitting everyone everywhere, which includes me. I may not be working as a Part 2 Arch. Assistant, not because I stop, but to experience other opportunities which I may not ever experience next time. But the I am still involved with a design commision from back home which at least would not make my design skill go to rust. Anyways, desiging was becoming somewhat obsolete due to my current job until I saw the results for the World Architecture Festival, one of my favourite arch. firms, WOHA won the category for Completed Building Holiday, for Alila Villas Uluwatu which re-ignites my passion for design. For some reason, it reminded me of how much I used to like to create and present and make sure it gets recognised. Just had a quick look at my CV, its time to re-apply this bad boy.
