Catch Up - The Writing Edition

I am behind on just about everything Filosofia related.
Let me begin by sharing some of the the books I've been working on lately,
so at least I can convince you that I've been keeping busy.

More soon. Kisses!

Yet Another One of My Heroes Has Left the Building

It's a sad day here at Filo-Sofia. Our biggest writing inspiration, critic, and
thinker, the incomparable Ada Louise Huxtable, has passed away.

You will be missed, Ada. Thank you for inspiring me to write.
I learned it all from reading your books and I'm so sad I never
got the chance to learn from you in person.

Hope you're kicking some deserving buildings up there ♥

If you like dancing hamsters and apocalyptic architecture...

then this one's for you! My new piece in Mark Magazine Dec/Jan Issue.
Happy reading!

Happy New Year From Filosofia

Here's hoping your new year is full of spaceship towers with giant babies
crawling all over them (i.e. inspiration) !                                                        
One of my resolutions is to get back to posting regularly, so looking
forward to sharing 2013 with all of you and thanks for being so patient!

Barcelona Part 3: Sagrada Familia 3

    So if the interior of the Sagrada Familia wasn't enough to inundate your

    senses, check out this exterior.

    I listened this talk show interviewing a clairvoyant who communicates with

    the deceased on the radio a few months ago. 

    They said one of the best ways to try to engage those you've lost is to ask 

    to see something crazy and look around throughout the day to see if it  

    appears. I asked to see a christmas tree (in May). 

   

Barcelona Part 2: Sagrada Familia 2

    Devoting just a single post to the genius of Sagrada Familia wouldn't be fair. 

    So here is part 2.

 
    I also decided to be brave and pay extra to go up into one of the spires to
    snap a few pictures of the new construction in between moments of intense
    vertigo and fear :)

   

    Ok, I'm dizzy again. I'll tackle the main façade next!

Barcelona Part 1: Sagrada Familia 1

    Filosofers!
    I am so sorry I have neglected you so! Please let me make it up to you!

    I just got back from Barcelona and took a few pictures for you.

    

    So let's get started with part 1 of our visit to Sagrada Familia,

    the forever under construction, jaw dropping masterpiece by Gaudi :

    The vaulting, the columns, the spiral staircases, the lighting!
    Too much visual stimulation for one day,
    so I'll save the rest for when you have recovered from all the saturated glory.
    Chapeau, Gaudi, Chapeau....

Hi Notcot!

    Thanks for all the continued support :)

     If you are looking for some reading material,
     please check out this awesome review of our Hashi Mori
     project by the incomparable Kayta Tylevich 

Introducing Hashi Mori...

 
 One of the main reasons why I have neglected Filosofia so much
 over these last few months is primarily due to me founding Affect Studio
 with my partner Bjørn Hoffmann and finishing our first project.
 There will be more info and photos arriving here over the next week
 but for now, please sit back and enjoy our just released documentary
 of our brand-new project, Hashi Mori.

Eureka! The Art of Invention

   My partner and I at affect studio are trying to patent
   a new kind of table we designed...
   but before we can patent it we have to search through
   the database of all patented tables
   in the last 20 years...
   and let me tell you, there are some GEMS out there!
   well I won't just tell you, I'll show you.
   Enjoy the design glory.
