As I grew older, I became more conscious of the passing of time. I remember the good old time when I seemed to have all the time in the world to play, but now time seems to pass by ever faster and becoming ever more precious.
Time seems to pause, however, when I’m absorbed in reading/working in my new home studio. To remind me that time is moving constantly regardless of my awareness, my first DIY project in that space is a wall-clock created from a cheap $10 alarm clock. A minimalist clock on a minimalist wall.
Most of the time this week was spent reading a book on the critical history of modern architecture. Writings on architecture could be so difficult to understand sometimes, they really have a vocabulary of its own. Perhaps the most rewarding thing I got out of reading the book is a word I looked up – Nostalgia.
It was a bit of a relief after the last lecture of the Bioclimatic Building Design course yesterday. At the same time, I was actually a bit saddened to see our professor go. It was only 2 weeks ago when he came from New Zealand to teach us. At first, I found him to be slow and I was becoming quite frustrated that I wasn’t learning much from the course. But as the lectures progressed and after reading his book, I found the professor to be very nice and full of wisdom.
