I am addicted to Espresso and a night person. Recently I had to pick up an undelivered package at the post office. It opens at 8 so I had to leave later than usual. I got up only half an hour later and couldn’t believe how much better it felt. Maybe it’s only psychological, but…

Finally I got this picture, at the corner of sunset and crescent heights. It has a certain mood, an atmosphere which reminds me of skiing resorts in the swiss alps. Probably it’s all these isolated lights dispersed in the hill without visible connections as streets, combined with the urbanity of a city. The one collides…

tired…enough work for the next week, I guess I won’t have too much time to write. work is pretty intense, the proejct getting interested. michael maltzan is probably the most interested architect, also as a person, I have ever worked for so far. Somehow I never had so much trust in the design process of…

Yesterday – I was at a party. I only mention that because I became aware once more of my shirt. n big letters it says on it: Berlin. I had it on and of course someone was there who approached me with the question if I was related to Berlin in any ways. She was…

A lot of bus driving I today, it was raining in the morning. People in the office think it’s absurd without car in L.A. I think I always had a problem to imagine you’re so depending on one means of transportation. And I don’t think a city can exist on a basis that the car…

It’s actually interesting to think about this commonly used saying. Especially when you are in Los Angeles. There was a film called ‘Los Angeles plays itself’. A documentary about the different interpretations, notions, translations, and creations of Los Angeles in films. Although it’s the most photographed city of the world nobody really knows Los Angeles,…

Again I was thinking about it this morning on the way to work. I usually take the bus in Beverly Hills on Santa Monica Blvd to Silverlake. I pass Beverly Dr, small nice shops, cafes and restaurants and the usual businesses in a rather posh neighborhood. It’s early in the morning, shortly past 7.30am. Everything…

It’s raining. Weather other than sun a subject to notice in California? Yes it happens there’s rain in L.A. Spring rain in february. Cherry blossom in january. Sometimes I miss the seasons. The snow and freezing temperatures versus the heat of the summer. There is no winter here, and summer close to the sea with…

i met Gabriel today, the architect i was working for before I started the present job. i had to bring him some notes and he owed me last payment. he is not part of the ambitious group of architects, he is doing whatever the client is asking for. Mostly just service oriented drawing sets and…

I started a new project today – fountain av. Photo picturing a street in its entire length. Visualizing a street. Visualizing the city. My daily way to work. From the north, upscale neighborhood of West Hollywood, to the other end of the street in the south, the trendy area of Silverlake. Los Angeles looks like…
