Remind Me
Tuesday, January 30th, 2007Found this music video on the ecAr blog. The fact that it starts with timezones, animation and architecture had me sold. :)
Remnants
Friday, January 12th, 2007I’m starting a new web project. I know, I know.. the old one isn’t finished yet, but I can do both. For the time being it’s called Remnants, and it’s about photodocumenting (and mapping) what’s left from the Pacific Electric railway in Los Angeles, once the largest system in the world. I’ve […]
Sketch 3D
Friday, December 22nd, 2006This pretty sums up the evolution of 3D throughout my career. I remember the professor of my animation class asking me what technological advance I wanted to see in the future. The people from FRONT created it. The ability to create objects from movement still fascinates me.
UPDATE: It looks like the […]
Seattle photos

Legorreta
Friday, October 13th, 2006Some thoughts from Ricardo Legorreta:

The book tells the story of the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair also known as The White City. At the close of the fair, the non-permanent […]
Habitat
Friday, October 6th, 2006Some you know that I’ve been working with Habitat for Humanity for the past few years. I just wanted to shamelessly plug their website to encourage other people to check it out.
For the architects, its a great chance to swing a hammer and actually build a house by hand. But even for […]

Adventures with Form in Space
Thursday, August 31st, 2006I found this through Gravestmor’s website. It is an art installation at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. Thousands of colored polystyrene balls hang suspended in a 3-dimensional matrix. The gradation of color runs form the warmer reds and oranges at the base, to the cooler blues above. Industrial fans […]
