who is 212 la-di-da
yesterday i noticed in my cell phone there was a missed call. i recognized the area code as being from NY city. i tried something i had never tried before. i typed [who is] and the number into google to see what came up. the number was from Sotheby's Realty in Manhattan. ha! how funny that misdial is. hey, maybe you would want us to design a condo for you, perhaps in the new tower planned by Rem Koolhas. seriously, this is a string of funny occurrences. this morning, these pictures arrived in an email, of Rem's new condo design for NY, a cantilevering residential building. i'm sure prices start at $4 mil, plus or minus one. or maybe the realtor thinks i could afford to pre-purchase a condo in this new tower. ha! images by OMA. at the risk of making this blog entry starchitect top heavy, i'll mention the name of another famous architect, Danniel Libeskind. i've been thinking a lot about his words on how architecture is about maintaining a positive mind. the words surrounding the industry include, building, establishing a horizon line, building, enveloping, cladding, edifying, structuring. it's all about being positive. those are good words for these difficult times. when the financial markets wobble, it affects us who practice this art on a grand scale.

uhm, i wonder why the comments sections in my blog have been quiet. have i been too introspective regarding my yoga practice? is my photo at the top right a bit much? it was taken at one of those POPOS, privately owned publicly used spaces - garden spaces in our financial district that are created by developers as a gift to the public in exchange for increasing the floor area of the buildings that they are designing in a site. NY is a model for that.
