time lapses, isolated experiences.

Unbelievably it’s saturday night again. Almost a week since the last time I wrote a post and I still don’t know how that happen. It’s interesting how our perception of time can change so much and be so deceiving. More interesting even is that when you do something that is so alien to your life [...]

winning battles, losing the war

Two weeks without writing is not really good. I’ve heard many times about winning battles but losing the war, and I kind of understood that, but never suffered it myself, at least I was never aware of it.  But now here, this is something I’ve learned at heart. I am suffering it in all fronts [...]

randomness

That’s what is all about. Randomness. The amount of small little choices that keep building up in your life to form a chain of events is absolutely unpredictable. The people you meet is just merely based on two sets of those chains of events crossing each other at a given time and place. And through [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

the shock doctrine

title resembles and is inspired by the book. “The shock doctrine” by Naomi Klein. Interesting and really good book I don’t agree with in full, but yes in some aspects.   We received shocking news today at the office, I should say they were expected news for some of us, but not for all. Though expected they [...]

goverment believes buildings are like dishwashers

So, there is a new law in Spain that classifies the buildings in terms of their energy efficiency performance.  Surprisingly enough the law is the same one that one applies to washing machines and refrigerators, and the classification is the same, rating from A to F, A being the best one possible. The funny thing [...]

everything you KNOW is WRONG

What if everything I / You / we know is wrong. Why do we take for granted so many things? why we have to stop Saturdays and Sundays if we are not religious countries any more?  Why if Dubai wants to be the centre of the western world do they stop on Fridays, and only [...]

95% of my ToDo list for today

Today i managed to do 95% of the issues listed on my “ToDo” list for monday (ToDo list is really funny for me ’cause in spanish todo=all), which is quite a lot. I have a huge list of things  from now till Friday. It gets busy.  But overall I got a question around my head [...]

“hasta los huevos”

Hoy es de esos dias que me he levantado cabreado con el mundo. De hecho ya me acoste asi anoche, (solo un breve intervalo de felicidad inocua mientras veia en la television Padre de Familia) Digamos para empezar que cabrearse suele ser una perdidad de tiempo, pero seamos sinceros, no sirve para nada pero sienta [...]
