JUST ME AND MY OBSESSIONS

Yes, that's right. It is just me. In my room.My dearest sister flew away for an ERASMUS degree, just on the other side of Europe, more precisely in Sardenia. Great place to be in the middle of the Bucharest winter! Happy happy sunshine. Well you will ask me what the problem is. The problem is that she will be away for about 6 months!!6 MONTHS!!This is quite a lot! I have never been away from her so long,excepting the time I was in Zagreb, working. But that was 2 months. Well,I will get used to not having her here, messing with my stuff. I am just kidding. I love her so,so much, and I think I will have a hard time to accomodate. Luckyly, my boyfriend is staying more with me, and I will handle.
Well, I should think of a HOLLYDAY POST, for today, speacking of Sardenia, but I will go there this spring, and I don't want to spoil the surprize.
Do you ever thought of how an architect's desk should look like? Nowadays it is more simple being an architect, you don't need a big desk or lots of sheets of paper thrown everywhere.We've got Autocad,don't we? I would preffered the old fashioned way, this programme being very imperonal.

Well,for those of you who did'nt get read of the old planning methods, or for you who just want to have another kind of desk, here are a few ideas I found.


This kind of desk is good for a bigger space than our "match boxes" from Romania, isn't it?:p
Anyway, I admire the combination between the old desk and the chair that seems modified for this tipe of table.

I tell you from experience: you can't project anything with a bunch of flowers on the table. Never! But still,I like the ideea. And the PAPER trash bin.
And now, a place to relax after the endless nights of working, or on cosy Sundays. You choose. The green from the chair blends perfectly with the petrol -gray walls. And the table for coffe and books, of course in a chill purple. And, last but not least, the pillows and the cosy blankie.



For those of you who can't leave the Autocad and can't remember how to hold a pencil anymore, I have some ideeas of workspace, too.






So,are you pleased? I sure am! These study/ work spaces are brilliant. I would work non-stop if I had one of them.

Soon,I will show you my verry own work space. I hope.

NEW IN TOWN

Yes guys, this is one of the fresh things. It is a new magazine(online for now) on architecture, art and everything related. It is a new aproach on this subject, everything being reformulated in the contemporary style.Nowadays, in Romania, art, architecture, urbanism, are not accorded such an importance as they should. People tend to forget that we need these kind of things to develop too, to look good because afterall, these are the things that soround us daily: houses,streets, parks.The Romanians tend to be a little more selfish than before, they no longer see but their own house and yard.Everything outside it, does no longer exist! This should be changed! Young people should learn how important is the ambient, the place they leave in and that they should respect it an try to preserve it as much as they can. Because afterall, this is what define us as a nation, as a collectivity.Everything that remains from the past is US.I trully hope that this magazine will succeed in opening people's minds as well as others, and I hope and wish it will be a success.
Good luck guys!

No subject_just wedding

Back!Sorry for being away for a week, but I had such a busy week, I couldn't even breath.
I've been to Cheia, a great place in our Carpatian mountains, for our big project, and it's been great! I totally advice you to try an hitchike there.The view is great, the air is so breathable and it's soooo quiet!Bothering quiet, if I am thinking.All my photos from there are at my working place,but I will try stealing a few to show you a bit, the atmosphere.
Since last post, winter came to Bucharest. Again. With lots of snow and cold. Real cold!
Well,I am a little stupid these days. Today isn't an exception. For that,I forgot my memory stick with all the nice information I wanted to share with you today. So, I will had to improve something.
These days,I am helping one of my best friends organizing her wedding.I was very honored and I started searching for ideas. My dream is to have my own organizing events firm someday.So, this came like a glove to me. For that, I am searching for ideas all over the place.The internet place, actually. And look what I found.

This is a very interesting site, I found during my researches.I find it very helpful, for all people,not just brides and housewives.It is simple and helpful.
And now a few nice ideas,that I will share with you.There are not my favourite, but in lack of others...remind your guests that they can't eat all the food.It's good for their shape. To help them, offer as wedding favor some measuring tapes. They will understand what to d with them. And if they are for charity, even better.

And for gadget lovers...Well, a memory stick. I would love such a favor. I never have enough memory sticks.I always lose them.

I promise that next post will be more fun and will be"me". Again.
