BRidGES

STRUCTURAL METAPHOR

"Of all things that are man-made, bridges are, with dams, the most “structural,” single-minded, and imposing. As connectors at a breaking point, they have a heroic force that is aided by a challenging structuralism. As a strand of continuity in a non-continuum, the bridge is full of implied meanings. It is the opposite of devisiveness, separation, isolation, irretrievability, loss, segregation, abandonment. To bridge is as cogent in the psychic realm as it is in the physical world. The bridge is a symbol of confidence and trust. It is a communications medium as much as a connector.”

-Paolo Soleri, 1970, from “The Sketchbooks of Paolo Soleri”, published by MIT Press, 1971

TwiLiGhT : BrEaKiNg DaWn

By now you might have noticed I like Vampire movies, tv shows, books ... 

So I have read all the Twilight series by author Stephanie Meyer.Watched all the released movies. 

Again notice the colour palette. My favourite ...

The adaptation on screen has elements I really like.

For example the eyes of the characters. 

I've just seen the new one: Breaking dawn part I .

This new movie had amazing designs : 

The Cullen's house

This is an actual home in Portland, Oregon or Vancouver,residence of the Hoke family( can't seem to find the location).

The Hoke House is by architect Jeff Kovel via ‘Skylab Architecture’.
 It’s 4300 squares, built by Metcalf Construction in 2007, with Lucy Metcalf as the interior designer and landscaper.

The beach house 

The house – which was lent to the production by a local businessman – is set in the stunning coastal area of Saco do Mamangua

Check out the trailer.
