Round buildings = oh lol what have I gotten myself into
Okay, so it's another update about uni. But seriously guys, what else am I going to talk about? The weather? Okay, so it was kind of cool today, but it's not exactly engaging eljay content. And it's not like I actually do anything else. :P
Plus I actually find it kind of interesting. Okay, I kind of am loving it at the moment, which is good because of how much work I've been doing.. but then I suppose I wouldn't still be doing this much work if I wasn't half enthusiastic.
ANYWAY!
I have found some awesome buildings with circular or round plans, and I will henceforth copy their ways of making a circle a less retarded shape for a building. I know you're probably not all that interested, but consider, if you will, the following works!
Alvaro Siza (♥) - Meteorology Centre, Barcelona, 1989-1992 (or Centro De Meteorologia, which is probably the correct name to use, because he's Italian)
(so many celebrity architects have "alvar" in their name! Alvar Aalto and Alvaro Siza. Okay, so two isn't exactly "many", but there aren't really that many celebrity architects, either. Am considering changing first name to Alvaghan, to see if it will boost celebrity. Or Mevar. MEVAR. Awesome.)
Mario Botta (<3)
Private House in Stabio (seriously, architects need to put a little more time into the naming of their buildings. What about "Space Monkies in Brick and Iron", that would attract more attention, and is certainly more memorable. And irrelevant.) 1980-82
Private House in Losone - 1987-89 (it has some really cool stuff going on)
Residential And Office Building in via Ciani, Lugano 1987-90
Mcbride Charles Ryan - Dome House (slightly better name, still a little too literal for my tastes), 2004-5 (totally awesome, lacks technical drawings >:( gonna call the architect. Seriously.)
I might find you some pictures. I'm going to scan the books anyway, in case some loser recalls them. Seriously, that is just not cool. Recall is so rude. I got one of my books recalled. So I recalled one today out of pure spite. Ok, so it's highly unlikely to effect the person who recalled my book, since they're on completely different topics, ok, so it was ridiculously petty, and ok, I'm not actually interested in the book, but it sure as hell would sell a lot of cans of a certain fizzy drink.
Did you see what I did there? If you did, you get a prize. (It may be an incredibly un-fulfilling prize, but that's just how I roll... (that's my sentence ender of the week, but only in my head. I haven't actually said it yet, I think.))
UM. I am downloading hundreds of little CAD reference files. You know, people, toilets, trees. Some of the people are quite funny. One is throwing up, two are hobos surrounded by empty cans, and two are fighting. It's madness. There were some more *cough* explicit ones, but I didn't download them because they're not ever going to be useful in an architectural drawing and they scared me.
I think that may just be all for now. If you want, I will underline the part of "what I did there" that is significant. Or parts, rather.
