my secret passion

Feb 21, 2009 05:15

im sick. knocked out cold.
or not so knocked out.
considering that i can't get myself to sleep.
anyway, i thought i would get up to do some reading.

'The crucial first step is to be comfortable with feeling uncomfortable about how and why we design the way we do.'
yes, i'm reading up on architecture. just like how my mom thinks i should start.
it's just fascinating to me how a mere cognition of the mind can be transformed into something so beautiful, large and iconic.
okay, not everything has to be iconic. comfort, simplicity is all good too. the way the jap like it. minimalism.
the thrill of just looking at a masterpiece, taking in the entire building as though you were gazing upon a simple art piece.
relishing the sensation you get when you can see the idea behind it, what sparked it and what the architect was trying to put across, all in that one building.
and of course, being able to proudly claim the project as your masterpiece. each and everyone of them.

i'm just crossing my fingers that i get in.
or i'll have to go elsewhere to do my studies.
which won't be very good yes?

it's already 5.30am. and im still unable to get to sleep.
i have taylor swift on my speakers playing you belong to me.
'how could you not know, baby, you belong with me'
