{in}[between} 2007-03-11 09:06:00 This is a "Fly Around" of my inbetween space at the moment. It needs to be refined and have layers added, but I think it works as a starting point.Just to quickly describe the project. We have to design for the InBetween... between you and me right now, between the key on the keyboard and my finger tips, between dream and reality - the list goes on and on. I am looking at the inbetween of design. From Brief to final product.

The Jewish Museum 2007-03-01 09:31:00 Between the Lines – The JewishMuseum
– Daniel Liberskind The psychology of space is an agenda that can affect a person on a multitude of levels. Space designed for the intent of creating an emotion is potent, surreal and encapsulating. The Jewish Museum in Berlin, designed by Daniel Liberskind pushes boundaries in design, comfort and questions the accepted ideal of what a museum is to be. It addresses issues of an “unsavoury” past in a controversial context. Although the official name for the project was the “Jewish Museum”, Liberskind called it “Between the Lines”. One line of organisation and another of relationship. Organisation is a line that although is generally straight, it diversifies into man facets. Relationship is a line that although unpredictable and uncontrollable, it moves in a particular direction that is always forward. With this, Liberskind addresses the issues of past and present and more specifically, how one captures a moment in t

?!!! 2007-02-06 03:34:00 My Grandmother was held up two days ago. She was followed from the bank to her apartment which must be about 3km apart.I have to ask what kind of sick people follow an innocent women home to rob her at gun point in an underground parking lot? I was telling someone this story and they sort of shrugged it of and said, “well that’s South Africa for you.”What kind of bull s&@t excuse is that? We live at the bottom of Africa so some low lives have the permission to do as they feel fit? When will this retarded and blatantly unsuccessful government turn this problem around?The truth is it can’t happen. At least not at the moment; our government officials are the most corrupt in the country, law continually protects criminal. Nothing is done about general law breaking offences – TAXIS!!!!!! Just I side note… the last 10 accident that I have seen on the road driving from one place to another have always included a taxi and another driver. Today, I saw the tenth.It angers me that som

Rebuke Towards an Inferior Desecrator 2007-05-02 03:34:00 During a conversation with Morne Pienaar outside the office, I was informed about the second studio’s new paint job. Its great to see the second years are doing things for themselves and taking initiative to change their space for the better (or so I thought). I told Morne that on one particular Wednesday, I walked into the second year studio to see the Blackboard cube that Justin and I built last year being used exactly how we envisioned it to be. Groups of students being taught on a massive board that allows the lecturer enough space to draw to their heart’s content. He then told me that unfortunately they can’t do that anymore. Perplexed at this bumper-bashing statement, I asked him what he meant by that. He then told me that “they” had painted over the cube. In a state of disbelief, I ventured down to the second year studio to see the studio walls monotonously draped with some sort of bluish grey. As the I journeyed further into the studio… I saw it.. the horror, the pa
