As architecture students, we faithfully read about works and ideas of starchitects out there almost every other day. And there is always one consistent underlined matter — reinterpretation. Modernists reinterpreting architectural aesthetics & structural expressions, Le Corb reinterpreting urban housing issues, postmodernists reinterpreting ornaments & facades, which was when Venturi & Scott Brown was reinterpreting Las Vegas… We also have Tschumi reinterpreting buildings & programs, Koolhaas reinterpreting New York, Herzog de Meuron reinterpreting materiality, MVRDV reinterpreting the methodology of design… the list can go on forever.
They are concepts conceived at a rather large scale: shifts in urban theories and architectural agendas.
Just taking a break from these, I’m now looking at these cute little sketches — on reinterpreting fish bowls:

I guess I am doing pretty well (updating regularly) as I am now blogging as a routine during my little ‘coffee breaks’.
Now, back to the dreaded CAD!
cute sketches, nice way to unwind.
