Went to a good lecture this week at the AA by Mark Goulthorpe of dECOi Architects. I think he is doing some seriously cutting edge work in the area of computation to manufacture. Sexy designs and techniques!

A Little Dish on the Side!

Here is a site of one of my students in Degree Unit D, Taesik Seo. Here is a little blurb on what it is and all about. Go and have a look!!!!
http://www.baanchan.net
/Baanchan/ is the name of my future office that I will open with one of my friends. It means Sidedish in Korean, but there are some other meanings, something like "thesis-antithesis-synthesis". Anyway, I would like to express my ideas about architecture, my hobby and my study in U.K. through this blog.
