in the space between

In the space between I can get lost, I can live.

Space between paper and real, between outdoor and indoor,  between the two faces of a wall, between public and private, between up and down, between mine and yours, between successful or not, between past and present, between conscious and unconscious, between what I am and what I think that I am.

There is always a gap, a space between, between my real and everybody else’s real. There is a gap between what we do and what we wanted to do, it’s not a line, a wall it’s not a line, it has thickness, the space between has thickness,  sometimes so big that you actually live inside and cannot scape. There is gap, it has no point to deny, I want to embrace the gap, the gap makes things interesting. a gap in the professional practice, in the understanding of our job, our life.

Unfolding the space between, discovering it, living in it, enjoying it, feeling confortable in the space between.

The space between cities, between friends, between jobs, between moments, between events, between your eyes and what you look at,  space between thoughts and words, between action and reaction.

I live in the space between

dedicated to a longtime friend.

workspace as it should be.

I am back at Madrid school of Architecture, my favourite place to work these days in Madrid due to a free Wifi network, a lot of work spaces with plugs and so on and with a very cheap cafeteria. Clases are over, and only a few exams missing for the students, but surprisingly the workstations are packed with people. It shows how high is the demand for this type of pleces, friendly spaces where to meet, connect to the internet, study, great access to one of the best architecture libraries I know, …. and a big parking lot for cars,

You can bring your drinks to the place you are working, there is a huge screen showing video-installations or different lectures, you can stay outside on the grass just chilling. If you have something “professional” to do and you don’t have your own office in town there is no better place than this, even if you have you own office it might be worth coming here, the atmosphere is so much lively and open.

I enjoy the feeling because I feel I belong to something other, something bigger, like if all these people would have a goal in common, it feels as if somehow we have some interest in common, I guess architecture in its wide conception.

When I was studying here I never came o the building to work, I always did it at home, no laptops at that time, no wi-fi system, no work spaces, just a few old computer for printing, what a huge change in a few years.

the feeling is like I always imagine my own office, completely free, nice chats everywhere,  a lot of effort but in a nice comprenhensive enviroment, almost as nice as google offices, but without free food.

was this an exercise of live blogging? Not sure what it is, can you blog “not live”?
